Give each candidate a role play card and an evaluation form. Male candidates get
a form about the female candidates and vice versa.
Give them time to ask questions about unknown words and let them familiarize
with their role. Tell them to invent any necessary details.
Arrange the tables to accommodate two candidates at a time. One set of the
speed daters, usually women, stay seated at the same table, and the opposite
group moves from table to table. When you give the signal (a bell rings or a buzzer
sounds), the speed daters progresses from table to table until each participant has
had a chance to meet the other. One round should not last too long; I suggest 2-3
minutes, because the phrases the daters exchange will inevitably become
repetitive.
In real life, the form is passed on to the organizers of the event. If two speed daters
have registered a mutual interest in seeing each other again, the pair receives each
other's contact information. From there the couple can contact each other to
arrange another meeting or date.
In the ESL classroom, you can decide if you want to take this step or rather leave it
out.
Have fun!
