Download: worksheet pdf
Preparing a Negotiation Role Play
Level : Adult learners B2 and up

Method: Preparation: The students are put into small groups and asked to think of a real or hypothetical negotiation. They complete the worksheet and hand it to another group.
The other group may ask any questions they have about the situation.

Task: The groups then role play the negotiation they have been given.
At the end of the role play each group writes a short report.

Analysis and feedback: At the end of each report the group which prepared the role play can comment; "Was the outcome the one they expected (if hypothetical) or the actual outcome (if real)?" "Were there other options which were not considered?" etc.
The trainer then gives feedback.
