Receptive Skills - Phobias
Pre-Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students will practice their receptive skills (reading) by reacting to a text on phobias. They will read for gist by skimming and scan to find specific information for which they will have to answer questions for. I'll pre-teach some vocabulary, after they complete their gist and scan task The next stage is a group reading activity. The students will split into two teams: blue and yellow, there will be 6 different phobias posted around the classroom the two teams will have to match the famous person to the phobia, they will have 1-2 mins for each phobia. The post-reading activity is an invention, students will produce their own phobia and provide a treatment plan and then we will do a response sharing for each group's own manufactured phobia and treatment plan.
