Illness

This is a beginner (CEFR A2, IELTS 4.0) EFL speaking class about illness. Students first brainstorm their prior knowledge of illnesses, after which target language is introduced using photographs. Students then practice the form of the vocabulary in a sentence, followed by an opportunity to drill pronunciation. Students then read a short dialogue between a doctor and a patient. Next, students answer comprehension questions about the text. In the next part of the class, students brainstorm what they do when they are sick. Further vocabulary about medicine is introduced, after which students again drill pronunciation. Students end the class with two discussion activities.
