Group Talk foster the spontaneous use of the target Language in the classroom. This sheet can be used in conjunction with my Group Talk Discussion Mat. It can also be used as a role play template.

There are 5 questions on the sheet:
1. Qu’est-ce que vous mangez généralement, au petit déjeuner?
2. Qu’est-ce que vous buvez normalement?
3. Qu’est-ce que vous mangez et buvez à midi?
4. Qu’est-ce que vous avez mangé et bu hier soir?
5. Qu’est-ce que vous allez manger et boire demain?

The students pair up and one student asks a question. There are then 3 levels of challenge:

1. The student can answer using the expressions in the box (which you have translated and elicited the pronunciation of beforehand).
2. In addition the students use some of the words listed below the box to extend their answers.
3. In addition the students should try to come up with other spontaneous phrases.

Using the discussion mat with this allows them to build in additional responses e.g.
Attend! = Wait!
C’est ridicule! = That’s ridiculous!
Tu es fou/folle?! = Are you crazy?!
Ce n’est pas juste = It’s not fair!
Tu plaisantes? = You must be joking/ are you joking?
