      English is Great

      This lesson is about the English language and other languages (including endangered languages) that the students may know. It develops speaking skills and the use of idiomatic language and uses the students’ own experiences and opinions as the basis of all discussions and written work.

      Level: Intermediate+

      Age group: Older teens/adults

      Timing: 60 minutes


      Aims:
      • To give a short presentation about how the student uses the English language
      • To be more aware of endangered languages and the impact of losing them
      • To use idioms containing the word ‘time’ – the most frequently used noun in English 
      • To write a narrative about what students do in their ‘spare time’
