Material Detail

This learning resource is a task-based French language activity designed to develop communicative competence through guided role play. Using character cards and question prompts, learners practice introducing themselves, asking simple personal questions, and responding appropriately when speaking with someone they do not know.

The activity is structured around pair or small-group interaction. One learner assumes the role of a character with predefined personal information, while another uses question cards to obtain details such as origin, profession, interests, and reasons for travel. Learners are encouraged to extend the interaction by inventing missing details, promoting spontaneous speech within a controlled framework.

The resource emphasizes oral interaction, turn-taking, and the reuse of high-frequency sentence structures commonly required in first encounters. Suitable for beginner to lower-intermediate learners (A1–A2), the activity can be used in adult language classrooms or small group settings to support spoken fluency, confidence, and pragmatic communication skills in realistic social situations.
