•Each player is handed four random Qualification Cards to "build their resume." The “employer” also receives the same number of qualification cards as those playing the game. 

•One by one, each player interviews using all four cards and has to talk their way into winning the job! 

•When the Applicant has finished their pitch, the Employer reveals a card from their hand that the Applicant must justify or explain.

•After all Applicants have had a turn, the Employer chooses which Applicant they feel is the most qualified and gives the Job Card to that Applicant. 


This is an exercise that does actually practice more than just the speaking skill, but that is the skill I have chosen to focus on. 

This emphasizes a student's ability to speak efficiently on the spot. They have to utilize vocabulary, and speak in a professional tone and manner. This involves understanding the context of an interview and how different language, tone, and words are all apart of that specific speaking role.

Once again, this is an activity that can focus on multiple skills, but the main focus is listening. 

The student whose back is turned to the screen has to really engage to interpret what the running student is trying to say. By listening, they have to turn what the other student is saying into a functioning sentence using their knowledge of writing. They have to translate what they are hearing down onto the paper using spelling and grammar skills.
