| Frame
dialogue |
A
short dialogue (usually about 3 or 4 exchanges) which is used
to practice a particular piece of language.
Example:
A: Do you want to go to the movies this afternoon?
B: I can’t. I’m going to play tennis.
A: Oh. That’s a pity.
B: Yes. Never mind.
Frame dialogues use substitutions so that the students
can practice the dialog with other language.
Substitutions for Student A
go to the movies / have coffee with me / go to the mall
Substitutions for Student B
do my homework / visit my grandmother / see my friends
Frame dialogues are the ideal way to practice functions.
