Improving our role playing

We have done some more role playing during the past week. We have improved greatly compared to our first attempts, but we also realise we still have a long way to go before we become graceful stewardesses at EnglishAir! Stewardesses really do CLIL, because you manage to understand them even if you don't know the language (or even if they don't know the language, as often happens when you fly with a Spanish company and they talk in English).

One of the big issues we face is getting feedback from children. We talk to them making ourselves more clear now, but we need to improve the ways to find out if the message gets across. Do they understand us, how can we know if they do? What resources can we offer them to communicate with us in English?
