As my level 2 students partook in Interpersonal Communication, I wanted to give them vocabulary to help them react to one another using culturally acceptable expressions and to give their own opinions while talking.
I created this vocabulary handout that includes vocabulary for reactions/starters and connectors including giving reason, opinions, clarifying, extending the conversation, expressing disbelief, happiness, sympathy, disgust, reconcile, exasperation, clarify, express doubt, non interest and answering yes/no question (beyond just sí and no).
Start using these expressions in level 1 to help students build a foundation that will later help them not only in the real world but for the AP Spanish exam.
Have them practice using these every time you do interpersonal activities. When someone says something to them, have them express their emotion with one of these expressions.
Also get students to state their opinion and extend the conversation.
Students have lots of fun expressing themselves with these expressions!
