Punctuality

This is an advanced (CEFR C1, IELTS 7.0) EFL Speaking class about punctuality. Students are first discuss their daily routine and what happens if they are late for work. Students then read a short dialogue in which the target language (all set, meet about + time, be a bit of a squeeze, half six, might be late, on time) is introduced. After that, students will match the vocabulary to its meaning. Students practice the new vocabulary in a role play activity. They then discuss the idea of being late. Next, students brainstorm common excuses for being late, before looking at six pictures and guessing which excuse the person has used. Students then rank the best to worst excuses for being late. Finally, students learn four idioms related to time before discussing them.
