Hand out the cut up questions and answers, either a set for each student or per pair.
Make sure all students understand that they need to identify the final sound, not the final letter in the spelling. Also model checking for voice by putting your fingers on your throat and make sure they do the same and understand voiced v voiceless sounds. Make sure they understand the difference in pronunciation between /Id/ and /d/ and that the former adds a syllable. Go through recommend, match and offer with them, checking they understand why the –ed endings have the sounds they do. Model and drill the pronunciation.
Model and drill the pronunciation.
Set a timer for each interview, then make them swap roles. Do delayed correction after the first round. Repeating the activity helps fluency and confidence, and should be much easier then the first attempt.
Please note that the job interview questions will need cutting up so they have one set per pair (or individually, depending on how Alla wants to set the activity up).
