Assumptions:

-	the teacher's style of teaching and the pace of the course

-	most of them are familiar with the concept of a talk on the phone

Anticipated Errors and Solutions:

-     Students may not be able to follow the passage easily

→ Follow the task-feedback circle: let them listen to the dialogue again until they

get the gist of the content

-	Students may have difficulty in solving the detailed questions

→ Chunk the listening (pause-play- pause-play)

-    Students may need more time to work on the vocabulary

→ If it takes longer than 5 minutes, cut answer-checking short by verbally sharing

the answers

-     If students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated

→ Ask as many students as possible about their experiences of a talk on the phone.
