Car insurance

This lesson plan is about raising the students’ awareness of the need for car insurance when driving in the UK. As they learn about the legal requirements regarding car insurance and the difference types available, they will develop their vocabulary and speaking skills. The lesson ends with the students role-playing a telephone conversation to get a car insurance quote.

Why do we do that?

An activity where students reflect on what they do in the classroom and why, which leads to a discussion about classroom practices.

An interview with Sir Peter

This is an activity based on the true story of Merhan Karimi Nasseri, a man who was unable to leave Charles de Gaulle airport. This became a popular story in the press and was later used as the basis for the Tom Hank's film "Terminal".

Urban sport

What do you and your students know about the non-competitive urban sport, parkour? In this lesson students read about this activity, focus on informal language, then ask and answer questions about other activities in pairs.

Yesterday

In this lesson students practise forming, asking and answering ‘wh’ questions in the past tense. They play two games and do a mingling activity.

Controversial statements

This free-speaking activity is a great way to start a lesson. ‘ARM exercises’ is simply short for Accept, Reject or Modify statements.

Building relationships

When we think of negotiations, we tend to focus on the hard negotiating skills connected with bargaining. In fact, many professional negotiators will confirm that the most important skill is effective relationship building.
 

Questioning and clarifying

In a negotiation, it’s very important to know when to speak, when to ask and when to listen. Here students rank and discuss the stages of negotiation, do a reading activity and look at negotiations vocabulary, examine question types, then finish with a role play to practise clarifying, summarising and responding.

From picture to story

This activity mainly provides writing practice but also practises question forms and encourages creativity. It is a student-centred activity which encourages collaboration and teamwork.
