Firstly, students are introduced to the topic, and then do a quiz, which will present some of the vocabulary they will need later in the lesson. They will then read a text about MI6 and check their understanding of it. There is an information gap activity where students will have to form questions to ask each other, a code-breaking activity and finally a discussion on the topic of spies and spying.

• To learn lexis related to spies
