This lesson plan for teachers of teenage and adult students at level B1 is based on the theme of school. Students will develop their vocabulary and fluency through a range of speaking activities.

Introduction

A little imagination, that is, on both the teacher’s and the students’ part, can transcend the boundaries of an otherwise mundane topic and provide plenty to talk about for a couple of hours.Even those topic areas seen as non-starters can keep a class going for a lesson, provided activities are well structured and each stage is different, challenging, and does not last too long.

Hello vonbrizon,

Thanks for the feedback and for letting us know about the error with the role play task on the student worksheet. I've corrected it now, so you can use it in class. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

Best wishes
Cath
