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.
This lesson is about housing in the UK and is based on Housing materials from both the NIACE Citizenship materials for ESOL and the ESOL Nexus learner website. The lesson provides an overview of the types of accommodation available in the UK and develops the learner's ability to ask and answer questions, listen for detail and fill in a housing form.
In this lesson, students use their drawing and speaking skills to practise the present continuous form. Drawing adds fun to the activity and may allow less confident students to excel, especially if they are talented artists. An optional writing activity at the end helps consolidate learning.
Even simple social tasks like inviting a person out to a restaurant can cause embarrassment and stress. This lesson includes discussions of why such situations are difficult, as well as plenty of practice.
Perhaps the most important skill connected with socialising is to ‘shut up and listen'. This lesson can help students to become active listeners.
In this lesson, students will develop their vocabulary to talk about the news. They will also be given the opportunity to discuss the news with their classmates and retell a newsworthy story that is important to them.
