Susan,

I used this standard for a beginning ESL class.  First I asked them where
they wanted to be understood.  The telephone was top priority.  I wrote
out dialogue for each of them to use and brought in old telephones.  
They "called" the Dr., the dentist, the fire dept.,  answers to want 
ads, for apartments, the plumber etc.   After practicing for awhile, they
wrote out telephone messages and had to give them to another student to
read and see if he/she understood the writing.  If not, they had to
explain the message in English.  Telephones took up many months!

Hi all,

I'm so stuck on this piece.  I want to build next quarter's class around
the Speak standard.  It will be an NRS Level1-2 class.

Any ideas, examples, suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Susan Rowley
