The teaching of conversational skills in a FL is still greatly underdeveloped in tertiary education. This is principally because of the demands it makes on staff time, and also because sending students to live in the foreign country is thought to be more effective than teaching. The paper proposes a variety of conversational training that maximises learner autonomy and focusses on socio-cultural competence in speaking. Students recorded role-plays that required good. sociolinguistic knowledge and then compared the discourse generated with native speaker equivalents. Strategies of this kind increase student self-motivation without making excessive demands on staff time, and they lead to direct improvement of important conversational skills. The future of conversational training a t third level is discussed in the light of this model, with special reference to recent developments in the Netherlands.
