Ideas for a class on the phone
 
Hi dear colleagues!
 
One of my adult students suggested that we could have a class on the phone simulating a conference call.

I need some suggestions of how could I prepare something interesting that would last for an hour.

Thanks in advance!!! Have a good weekend!

Greetings from Brazil,

I see, hehe, I did a phone conference with 18 year olds - which might be a difference.... I provided them with some vocab materials in advance, they had chosen a topic, and made special handouts with their roles, every student was to choose their role, prepare to it and we had one lesson when we tried the way it should work and the real lesson was perfect, one of the students recorded it - so the students had a lot of fun when they watched their conference later on. And, which was very important, all of them wore business cloths on that day.....

Hope you might find it useful,
Alex

I think BRAHIMS does exactly that in France, he teaches business people by phone! You might want to contact him and see if he can give you a few pointers!
