S+L Six surprisingly well-paid jobs (advanced)

(From Miriam)

Speaking and Listening Advanced

I have adapted this One Stop English lesson (see link below) and made it more speaking-orientated. I haven’t included  any of the language exercises except the first one (key words).  The powerpoint presentation (no animations, I’m afraid!) consists of a lead-in speaking activity about well-paid jobs in general, and their job in particular, followed by the key words exercise. To make the reading activity shorter and more communicative, I copied and cut up the job descriptions, and gave one to each std in the group and they described the jobs to each other and then talked about which they would and wouldn’t do. (Instructions on ppt.) At the end of the lesson, I gave them the copy of the sheet with all the job descriptions to take home to read.

It worked quite well, but my students are very talkative so we didn’t manage to do the vocab activity at all. (And I have a two-hour class!)

The powerpoint presentation is in the Speaking and Listening level folder, 2014-15, S&L Incompany.

Thanks Miriam!
