In this lesson, students develop their conversational skills in the context of describing what they usually do at the weekend in a variety of engaging and communicative activities. Students start by completing the sentence prompts to engage with the topic and then they identify different weekend activities and notice linking patterns in the collocations. There is also a focus on adverbs of frequency. Students then develop their listening skills by listening to three people talking about their weekend routines and completing a comprehension task. They finish with a final productive task to consolidate and use all the language from the lesson (by Vicky Aitken).
