删减对话

　　首先，教师选择一个由6至8个句子组成的对话，带领学生逐行重复单句，直至他们都能用正确的语音、语调重复整段对话为止。

　　其次，教师有选择性地擦去每行中的一些词语，并在不提供任何帮助的情况下让学生重述整段对话。教师继续删减每行的字词，要求学生完全凭借记忆力重复对话。

　　此后，在每行只剩下一、两个单词的情况下，教师再要求他们回想并反复练习对话内容。

　　最后，教师让学生以结对的形式再次演练对话，并要求他们将对话内容整理成文本。

　　IF you have students that aren’t very confident or happy about speaking, this is a good idea that always works for me.

　　The first thing I do is to write a dialogue of about six or eight sentences on the blackboard and then I drill it. I get the whole class to repeat each line after me a number of times until they sound very natural.

　　Then once we’ve been through this dialogue a few times I begin to erase a few of the words from each line. Then we go through the dialogue again, this time with the class trying to remember the complete lines without me prompting them. Then we drill it again without those words.

　　Finally, we end up with more and more of it being rubbed off until we have the dialogue with just perhaps one or two words in each line as prompts. Then all the students try to say it all together. The final practice could be done in pairs and the students should then write the dialogue down.
