Defending your view, but try to show respect, tolerance and understanding by being polite, even in situations of strong disagreement. RATIONALE (i.e. why select these linguistic/conceptual objectives)LINGUISTIC:Role-play is an active phase of learning, so it involves a number of language functions. Students should pay attention to use right language form to express those functions.CONCEPTUAL/CULTURAL:The conversation goes on in a break, so the language used should be informal to some extent. Since the conversation takes place in a staffroom between colleagues, the speakers should keep polite manner.ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE (i.e. what do you assume learners know/can do )LINGUISTIC:All trainees are familiar with the vocabulary and grammatical rules related to the topic, so it is unnecessary to present those language elements.CONCEPTUAL/CULTURAL: Most of the trainees have the experiences of role-play, but they are not theoretically clear about the definition, procedures, advantages, problems and solutions of role-plays. It is difficult for them to show respect, tolerance by being politein situations of strong disagreement.
