Creating authentic listening and speaking resources for ESOL
learners

– In pairs use the script for ‘Burst Pipe’ and then think up 2 ESOL activities which you could develop
– Share ideas with the whole group
Work out an everyday scenario• In your group decide on an every day speaking and listening scenario that could be developed using the realia resource provided.
• The scenario will include a sound recording such as: making a telephone pizza
order; booking a children’s party at
the local swimming pool; making a complaint about library
charges; finding out about becoming a
volunteer; ringing up about a job; and chatting to a child about their performance at school.
