Participles…Conversation Cards
Participles…Conversation Cards: Teachers’ Notes
Target Structure: Participles with prepositions (interested in… etc.)
Vocabulary: General
Level: Lower Intermediate and above
Time: 20 minutes
Preparation: Cut up the cards
Suggested Teaching Method:
This handout provides extensive speaking practice of participles with prepositions.
- Divide the students into groups. Give one set of cards to each group. Ask a student in each group to shuffle the cards, and place them upside-down in a pile.
- Students should then choose a card, and ask the questions to other members of the team. Encourage follow-up questions.
- The teacher should monitor, but not interrupt, unless really necessary. Take notes of any particularly heinous English mistake, and go through it at the end. It might be best to write a few incorrect sentences on the board after the activity is over, and encourage self / peer correction.
