It's one of my favourite ESL reading and speaking activities. Have you ever experienced this in your class? It happens to me all the time/ You know, there are those little dialogues in the textbooks that are often kind of like the lead-in to the rest of the unit. I put students into pairs and I tell them, okay read the dialogue with your partner. And just blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and they're finished. And then I say, okay so that guy Bob and I asked a question about Bob from the dialogue and everyone's like what? Who's Bob? And they actually, legitimately have no idea who Bob is. What Bob did. What Bob said. Even though they had just finished reading it with their partner. Do you know what the problem is? It's not with my students, it's with me because I didn't give them a reason to actually read carefully. Instead, remove some of the key words!
