Answer 1:
Role play is highly beneficial in communicative teaching. In terms of Business
English classes, role plays provide a realistic interphase to the students and with the help of it,
students can make use of vocabulary and sentence fragments for talking about the different
practical situations such as telephonic conversation, booking tickets etc. It is also to mention
in this regard that both listening and speaking play an important part in a Business English
class and with the help of role plays, students get a good opportunity to make use of and
demonstrate their skills and talents.
In this section, I am going to elaborate on presenting role cards that will be related to
a telephonic conversation among two colleagues.
Two roles are been allotted to two students. One is the caller (Colleague A) and one is the
receiver (Colleague B).
Caller (Colleague A)
You are to call your colleague for
postponing your lunch meeting with
him that you have today at 1:00p.m at
Tim Hilton Café.
The reason for the postponement will
be that you need to meet your
business supplier on an urgent basis
today at 1:30 p.m.
Instructions:
Formal Greetings
Fluent speaking and clear
pronunciation
End Talk
Receiver (Colleague B)
You are to receive a call made from
your colleague with whom you had a
meeting today at Tim Hilton Café.
However, he wants to postpone the
meeting and after knowing the reason
behind the same, you will have to
postpone it for tomorrow at the same
time and same place.
Instructions:
Formal Greetings
Fluent speaking and clear
pronunciation
End Talk

draft demonstrates some considerations. Learners in Business English class have a tendency
