1.1 Interactive Speaking Turn taking Vocabulary Engagement Questioning

• Formal greetings: Bonjour Monsieur / Madame / Mademoiselle; Bonsoir; Au revoir
• Formal how-are-you: Comment allez-vous ? Je vais bien, merci. Et vous ?
• Four formal questions: Comment vous appelez-vous, Monsieur ? Vous habitez où ? Où êtes-vous né(e) ? Vous parlez... ?
• vous versus tu: vous for the headteacher, an elder, a stranger; tu for a friend. Never salut upwards.
• Non-verbal cues in a formal greeting: handshake, posture, eye contact; la bise is not the Kenyan default

• respond to questions and prompts to show comprehension and engagement
• use vocabulary and expressions appropriately to probe and engage in oral interactions
• use non-verbal communication cues to enhance communication
• exhibit confidence to contribute actively in conversations

“How else do you communicate without use of speech?”
