Family

This is an upper intermediate (CEFR B2, IELTS 6.0) EFL Speaking class about family. Students first activate prior knowledge of family by naming four family members. This is followed by a short discussion with a partner about the students’ own families. An image of a family tree is shown, which students are expected to say. A family tree is then shown in different slides, each of which shows a different relationship between two members of the family. Students are expected to name the relationship between the different family members. Following this activity, students will read some comprehension questions and name the family relationship. Pronunciation of the different family relationships are drilled, followed by a discussion using the vocabulary. Students then read a text about a lady called Edith and her family. Comprehension questions follow the activity. Two free production activities follow.
