Use dramatic scenes from movies and films as a basis for drama / dialogue practice. Famous, popular or memorable movie scenes work best. Have learners take the roles of characters in the movie scene and do the same lines as the original actors imitating accent, gestures, discourse, etc. Students can also put their own personal "spin" or "interpretation" on the scene and dialogue for added interest. Encourage the use of the local variety of English for added impact. Here are some famous line starting scene suggestions:
Dirty Harry - "Go ahead, make my day."
The Terminator: "I'll be back."
The Godfather, Don Corleone: "We're going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
You get the idea. Just expand to use the full scenes surrounding these famous lines. For maximum punch, have the learners get into "costume" as well as character.
