Internet

This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL Speaking class about the internet. Students first brainstorm what activities they can do online. Then they discuss basic questions about the internet. Target language (website, search engine, download, stream, router, virus) is introduced using photographs. Students confirm understanding by choosing the correct piece of vocabulary in a gap-fill reading activity. Another opportunity for discussion follows. Prior to reading an article about the pros and cons of the internet, students describe a picture showing a girl sleeping next to a mobile phone. Students then answer comprehension questions about the text. Two interactive discussion activities follow.
