Asking personal questions
This activity can be used to practise the language used when finding out about other people, and giving information about oneself. Learners can be encouraged to invent their answers so they feel less inhibited. There are examples of short and more complex answers that can be given depending on level and context.
In this activity, tutors may need to be sensitive to the possible literacy, language and numeracy (LLN) needs of their learners.
