Well, I can´t upload the video to this blog with the conversation but you can listening by click on the link! This it´s a simple activity whick involves listening and the students have to demonstrate how much they understand about it marking the correct answers. The teacher´s role is to help the students to "absorb" the language, doing them to habituate with the idiom.The purpose it´s not make the students understand all the words but learn how to deduce what speaks and comprehend the principal idea. If the students can get better their oral comprehension they get better their vocabulary and pronunciation of some words.
