Dear
colleagues,
I have been
less than active on this wonderful site for the past two years or so. Now
things have changed, and I�m looking forward to coming back again full force.
I�m now
working at a vocational college, where we train future educators and early
childhood teachers. For the past year, I have been developing course material
for one of our elective subjects, "Practical English". Other than for
the regular English lessons, there is no set curriculum for it, and I was
relatively free in my approach. My goal was to give our students some basic
real-life skills to use in their future careers. Thus, the course now covers
things like organising outings, health and hygiene, food and allergies,
accident reports, writing a letter of application, etc.
For every
unit, I wrote some small dialogues in easy English to familiarise the students
with the topic that is going to be covered. Now I got that idea into my head
that it would be great if these dialogues could be turned into a listening
activity for the students to read along with.
So long
story short, I wanted to ask you lovely people if you might perhaps be
interested in creating an audio activity.
I�m looking
for voices for the following characters:
Main
Parts:
Mary
Bright, a warm-hearted lady in her sixties, who runs a nursery.
Greg
Porter, 23, who works in said nursery as an educator and is the supervisor of
two trainees.
Amy Harris,
early 20s, who also trained as an educator and is now doing a work placement at
the nursery.
Theresa
Maier, 19, from Germany, who is doing her one-year mandatory work placement to
finish her educator�s degree abroad.
Smaller
Part (2 dialogues)
Valery
Wilcox, 31, a concerned mother, who is not sure if the nursery�s hygiene is up
to scratch.
If you
could imagine doing one of these parts, please get in contact with me, and I
will get back to you. I thought it could work that way, I send you the script,
and you can record your part at your leisure and upload the file. I would cut
it, put in some sound effects, and make a nice listening experience out of it.
Once it is finished, I would of course send you the completed files to use
together with the script in your lessons.
