Technology Topic

LESSON OVERVIEW
In this lesson, students will watch a short TED talk and discuss about it.

The worksheet kicks off with a warm-up speaking task to introduce the topic in which students must discuss which professions have no future and which are on the rise. As the TED talk is not that long this worksheet has two listening comprehension tasks: one for general understanding of the speech and second to practice listening for details. What follows is a short vocabulary gap-filling exercise to practice a few new words from the speech. The next stage has some speaking points to talk over the content of the speech. Finally, students will have to prepare and hold a debate on the key question.

Discussion & Vocabulary
The in-class part is all about speaking. First, students discuss the video and express their opinion about video. The next two exercises focus on pre-teaching the vocabulary students will hear in an interview in the second part of the lesson. Then, they see them used incorrectly and have to correct the mistakes.
