I have set up a new section on the A-level page: dialogues. These are for Y13 students (CEFR B2). Students read the dialogue aloud in pairs, check vocab with each other, then adapt the dialogue by changing short sections in bold, then do an on-the-spot oral translation. Finally, they can improvise their own short dialogue. All of this is of course useful when preparing for the Stimulus card section of the A-level exam. The first topic is immigration.
