10 - Talking Gist

Here at Dokkyo Med, we're trying to motivate our (Japanese) students to practice, and hopefully develop, their English speaking skills. In preparation for this podcast; Talking Gist, students were given four questions to build a dialogue around:

Where does the conversation take place? What situation are the students discussing? What is person A asking about?What does person B want to do?

Because the focus of the class is TOEFL Gist, students are not allowed to give away the main topics (answers to the questions), instead they use key-words that help the listener (You) to understand what the gist is.

Enjoy!
