Method
8 At the end, groups could decide who should get
the job – perhaps based on who did the best
interview (in terms of their English!).
1 Photocopy and cut up a worksheet for each
group of four students. Divide the class into
groups of four.
The activity can be adapted for small classes and
one-to-ones by using only the required number of
question/role cards.
2 Tell students that they are going to interview
each other for the job of Marketing Manager
with an international promotions company.
3 Write on the board:
Where / born?
Why / leave first job?
What / interests?
4 Point out that two of the questions are in the
past simple (elicit which ones) and one is in the
present simple. Elicit the “you” questions
(Where were you born? Why did you leave your
first job? What are your interests?).
5 Give a question card to three students in each
group (the interviewers), and a role card to the
fourth student (the interviewee). Allow time for
the interviewers to prepare their questions and
the interviewees to study their role cards. (Note:
MBA = Master of Business Administration.)
6 Remind the interviewers that two of the
questions are past simple and one is present
simple. Then ask students to role-play a job
interview.
7 When groups have finished, ask them to swap
roles so that a different student is the
interviewee (interviewers can swap question
cards, too). Continue the role plays until all
students have had a turn being the interviewee.
