Movie genres

This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL Speaking class about movies. Students describe three photographs, each showing something related to movies (director, theatre, scared). Students discuss their experiences of movies. Target language (action, sci-fi, drama, romance, comedy, horror) is introduced using well-known Hollywood movie posters. Students then choose a suitable adjective to describe each type of movie. Students move on to discuss movie genres in detail before giving their opinions in an agree/disagree activity. Students discuss the pros and cons of watching movies at the cinema or on a phone before reading a short text about someone’s opinions on movie genres. The class ends with a comprehension check.
