Housing

This is a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL Speaking class about housing. Students describe photographs of various types of house before a simple discussion about where they live. Target language (garage, loft/attic, balcony, patio, fireplace, utility room) is then introduced. Students confirm their understanding by matching the vocabulary to its meaning, after which they discuss questions using the vocabulary. A reading activity follows, in which students read housing advertisements in Manchester, UK. They confirm their understanding of the advertisements by matching pictures of the houses to the descriptions. Students finish the class by discussing their opinions about some statements, as well as designing their own house.
