German term or phrase: Zuruf-Antwort-Verfahren

Sales role-plays for Volkswagen. One of the methods cited for stimulating participants (in a list so not great context). Other methods include group discussion. This method is introduced in the wake of a short presentation by the trainer. I was considering --- -response-sequences, but am having trouble with "Zuruf"

call and response

Explanation:
Smitherman (1977) defines call-and-response as “spontaneous verbal and non-verbal interaction between speaker and listener in which all of the statements (‘calls’) are punctuated by expressions (‘responses’) from the listener”

Other words to consider could be address, deliver, report, discuss, propose etc. I hope this could be of use.
