Dice gamble Students work in groups of four and decide who will play first, second, third and fourth – this choice is the gamble. The first student throws a die. A number one corresponds to five seconds, number two to ten seconds and so on (multiples of five). The first student must talk about different programmes and what he / she thinks about them for that length of time. The other three players throw the die when it is their turn to talk – they are not allowed to change order. As the other students are listening, ask them if they can hear any adverbs of frequency, time references and adjectives being used.

The Results Plus box on page 19 gives advice on aspects of language which will help students work towards a grade C. Ask students to bring in a picture as preparation for their own speaking task. Ideally, the picture should represent something personal to the student and thereby give a sense of task ownership to facilitate free discussion. In the discussion, ask some open-ended questions to ensure that students can demonstrate an ability to adapt their discussion and to respond appropriately to questions. Students may give a short presentation (one minute maximum) to introduce their picture. After this, begin the discussion by asking questions about the picture, before extending the conversation into related areas. A question such as, Warum hast du dieses Bild gewählt? could serve as a good opener for more able students. It is important to train students to give extended responses and a range of opinions throughout the discussion.
