Conversation queue gives the teacher the opportunity to assess whether or not each learner has mastered a simple speaking task such as a question/answer pair or a short dialogue. The class breaks into two lines with the learners at the front of each line facing one another. Each line is assigned a different speaking role, and the learners take turns speaking to one another while the teacher monitors.
