Lesson overview

In this lesson, the students:

  • talk about themselves, their jobs and their English-learning journey
  • talk about their preferences
  • consider hypothetical scenarios
  • speak freely!

The lesson can be easily matched with ANY of our lessons but it fits best during the first lesson with new students as a diagnostic tool before choosing other Teaching Bricks course materials.

Speaking

This lesson plan is a flexible first lesson for new students. It allows them to speak freely and gives the teacher a lot of diagnostic information concerning the level of the students and things to improve. The worksheet and presentation includes: spidergrams, gapped questions, “which do you prefer?”, hypothetical situations “what would you do if…” as well as prompts for speaking. The worksheet can be easily laminated for prolonged use and tasks can be dynamically adjusted or ommited during the lesson.
