This simple 15-page no-prep resource is designed to help students learn more about some basic social uses of language, and to practice expressing themselves socially in several different ways in familiar contexts, including:

• making polite requests;
• expressing different emotions, including with tones of voice;
• recounting memorable events (e.g. celebrations);
• explaining basic procedures (e.g how to pack a school bag, and play sports and games);
• re-telling familiar stories (e.g. fairy tales); and
• solving common social problems (e.g. needing to go to the bathroom during class).

This resource is not intended to prescribe “correct” or “expected” behaviours, but instead to give students the opportunity to learn about different social uses of language from adults and peers and to express their thoughts and feelings using words.

Suitable for face-to-face and distance learning.
