The teacher presents the eight students with a new dialogue, a conversation between two classmates who are talking about their weekend plans. All of the teacher’s instructions are the same in English. A: Where will you go this weekend? B: I will go to Tainan Park this weekend. A: Who will you go with? B: I will go with my parents. A: How will you get there? B: I will get there by car. After the teacher acts out the dialogue, she says, “All right. I am going to repeat the whole dialogue now. Please listen carefully and repeat after me.” This time she has the whole class repeat each of the lines of the dialogue after her model. After the eight students repeat the dialogue several times, the teacher plays A and they play B to have the dialogue with her. Also, the teacher and the students switch roles to practice the dialogue. After this practice, the teacher goes on to the second phase of the dialogue. She begins by reciting a line from the dialogue, “I will go to Tainan Park this weekend.” Following this she picks up a picture of a department store on the ground, shows it to the eight students, and says the phrase, “A department store.” She pauses, then says, “I will go to a department store this weekend.” There are still pictures of the Confucius Temple, the Golden Beach in Tainan, a zoo, a library, and Kenting. At this point, she picks up a picture of the a zoo and says the phrase, “A zoo.” She pauses, then says, “I will go to a zoo this weekend.” After each of the phrases illustrated in the pictures is replaced in the sentence and read aloud by the teacher, the teacher starts to ask a student (Jack), “Where will you go this weekend?” The teacher randomly picks up a picture of Kenting, Jack thus realizes and replies, “I will go to Kenting this weekend.” The conversation continues. Again, the teacher asks another student (Jenny), “Where will you go this weekend?” The teacher picks up a picture of the Confucius Temple. However, Jenny stumbles a bit in the sentence. At this point, the teacher immediately repeats the phrase, “The Confucius Temple”, so that Jenny is able to read aloud the whole sentence. Not until each of the eight students has an opportunity to ask and answer the questions in the dialog does the teacher go on to the next phase of the period. In this phase, the teacher takes out five pictures, which symbolize that a man goes out of the train station, waves down a taxi, puts his luggage into the trunk, takes the taxi to the hotel, and checks in the hotel respectively. Similarly, the teacher acts out the coherent dialog and then repeats each of the sentences of the coherent dialogue, illustrated by the five pictures. But then, the teacher asks the eight students to read aloud the coherent dialog individually. Surprisingly, each of them performs pretty well. The teacher smiles. “Very good!” she says.
