How would we use it for beginners?

How would we use it for English?

How can teachers be both participants in the discussion and neutral.

How can codes be neutral and still elicit emotion. If they overtly represent both sides of a dialog, they’ve already solved the problem and provide the answers. Don’t they have to be controversial in order to spark discussion? Isn’t it sufficient that all players are implicitly present in the dialog, but not their perspective. Otherwise, where’s the controversy?

One way is to do language structure issues after the production phase of the exercise. Don’t curtail natural discussion.

If students are looking at photograph, you can get them to describe it, or ask questions about it (question formation)…

“What’s a better way to speak to this person/address this problem, without getting fired?”
