Here at Dokkyo Med, we're trying to motivate our (Japanese) students to practice, and hopefully develop, their English speaking skills. In preparation for this podcast; Talking Gist (Season 2), students were given four questions to build a dialogue around:

Where does the conversation take place?

What situation are the students discussing?

What is person A asking about?

What does person B want to do?

Because the focus of the class is (TOEFL) Gist, students are not allowed to give away the main topics (answers to the questions), instead they use key-words that help the listener (You) to understand what the gist is. In this Podcast, first to go are Mariko and Itaru, the second conversation features Jin and Hiroki.

Enjoy!
