In this updated lesson, students develop their language and skills in the context of learning English. They engage with the topic by reflecting on their own learning experiences. They then review individual letters and sounds before identifying and describing a set of synonyms and antonyms. The students then match and practice common collocations. They then complete activities to highlight parts of speech and word formation. There is a focus on the form and pronunciation of irregular past simple verbs. They then listen to three short dialogues about learning English before consolidating the language in a group mingling task. (by Victoria Aitken)
