Description

In this lesson, students learn to express their opinions through P.P.P (Present, Practice, Produce) procedure based on a few listening activities about the means of staying in touch with friends and coworkers, i.e. the social media platform and communication device. The lesson begins with a discussion about about the way students keep in touch with their family and friends. This is followed by listening to two conversations in order to find out the method of communication discussed in each conversation and the speakers opinion on them.
