Secretary

Secretary
Secretary is an integrated skills activity which provides students with meaningful speaking and listening practice. Students are divided into pairs or small groups. One student is assigned the role of a secretary and the other student(s) are runners. The runner goes to a different part of the room to observe the language input, and returns to the secretary and produces spoken language. The secretary must listen and note what the runner is saying and negotiate meaning as necessary. In this way students are working collaboratively to complete a goal.
