Superstition

This is an advanced (CEFR C1, IELTS 7.0) EFL Speaking class about superstition. Students first guess then learn the meaning of superstition. Next, students brainstorm as many superstitions as they can. A short discussion about luck follows. Target language related to superstitions (black cat, Friday the 13th, walking under a ladder, touch wood, wish on a shooting star, four-leaf clover) is introduced in pictures. Students then decide which of these superstitions is lucky and which are unlucky. Next, students discuss these superstitions compared to those in their country/culture.
