Practise Dialogue Writing in Another Language

Enhance conversational fluency by generating realistic dialogue in a target language.

Teaching Context:
Best for Year 6 to Year 10 Language classes in French, Spanish, Japanese, German or any taught language.

Basic AI Prompt:
Write a short dialogue in French where two people meet at a café.

Enhanced AI Prompt:
You are a language student practising informal conversation. Write a short dialogue (6 to 8 lines) between two people meeting in a café. Use simple vocabulary and greetings appropriate to Year 7 French learners. Translate each line into English below for clarity.

Spice it Up (Optional Extension):
Ask the AI to roleplay with the student or rewrite the scene in a restaurant.

Lesson Implementation:
Start with a quick roleplay to revise greetings and ordering food. Students use the prompt to generate a short café conversation. In pairs, they practise reading both roles aloud and refine pronunciation. Ask students to identify new vocabulary and write them in their notebooks with definitions. Next, they adapt the dialogue to another setting (e.g. park, cinema) using the same structure.

Extension students may remove the English translations and memorise lines. Use Flipgrid or Vocaroo to record conversations for formative assessment. This task supports fluency, confidence and practical application in real contexts.
