A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Model the phrases with real classroom objects and situations. Explain take turns, work in pairs and underline through a demonstration.
- Read a need such as listen again and choose an appropriate phrase from its row.
- Use an optional short exchange: ask for a word's meaning or spelling, then respond and switch roles.
- Try the three printed instructions so learners connect what they hear with an action.
Support and extension
For support, practise two high-use phrases and leave the chart available. Extend by choosing between asking for spelling and asking for pronunciation. This is a reference, not a scripted role-play worksheet; adapt permission phrases to the setting.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
