Speaking: Present Your Position
Focus: Oral argument, pronunciation and clarity
Deliver an organized oral argument and respond to a follow-up question.
Study each word, read the Spanish support and school example, then press the speaker to hear the English pronunciation. In pairs, choose four words and create four new school sentences.
Oral presentation route
A clear oral argument needs an OPENING, a POSITION, two REASONS, a response to a different view, and a CLOSING. Signpost words help the listener know where you are in the presentation.
Use signposts: firstly, secondly, however, therefore.
Pause after important ideas.
Use notes instead of memorizing every word.
Before listening: Read the question and predict three words you may hear.
Listening question: How does the speaker organize the presentation?
Each dialogue is separated in its own Bootstrap card. Listen first, perform it with your group, then change one idea so the conversation becomes connected to your own school experience.
Team task
- Student A explains the main concept in simple English.
- Student B finds one example, connector or piece of evidence.
- Student C asks a follow-up question and reports the group answer.
- Rotate roles. Every student must speak before one student speaks twice.
Build, Swap & Improve
Create three statements on the computer: one main position, one supporting reason/evidence and one counterargument or limitation. Swap with another pair/trio. The new group identifies each part and improves one sentence.
