1 Use a diagnostic worksheet to determine students’ current advice-giving strategies. For example, you are walking down the street and meet Mr. Suzuki, your principal. You talk for a minute or two. He looks very sick. What would you say? (p. 97)

2 Use examples to present three advice-giving strategies: direct (you should), softened (you might want), and indirect (no modal) and practice understanding using prerecorded dialogues.

3 Provide controlled practice activities such as responding to short scenarios (e.g., a five-day holiday is coming up. Your oral communication teacher, who recently moved to the area, is planning to drive to a vacation spot. You know the highways will be very crowded (p. 101)).

4 Practice using open-ended roleplays in which students can practice the speech act and provide feedback (p. 94).
