I would like to suggest this four-skill comprehension worksheet for business students that is adapted for upper intermediate and advanced levels. Your students have to watch a job interview video to identify mistakes (bloopers) Nicole makes and try to suggest correct answers. The video has two versions (success & failure). There´s also a note-taking task based on a talk and a vocabulary matching exercise related to the 2nd video. But guess what the treat is! You´ll find a whole lesson plan to follow throughout. The activity is both professional and fun. What´s more? it´s authentic. Find the 3 video links included in the worksheet. Have fun teaching.

I have who has game with math equations

This one of our original lessons on Fluentize.com, and personally, one of my favorites. It's designed for teachers with teenage or adult students at the B2 / Upper Intermediate level, and makes for a perfect one-one private lesson topic, but it can also be used in a group. All of my students have enjoyed doing this one so much, and teachers have given lots of positive feedback on it. You can find a more comprehensive version, and unlock the full lesson material for it on Fluentize. It's downloadable for free, including the interactive lesson plan for online lessons.



In the lesson, students watch a video and do a listening exercise about the Hyperloop, the humanoid robot. It's a short, 5 minute video with a lot of interesting information about what the Hyperloop is and how it works. The lesson includes discussion questions and conversation activities about travel and modern transportation. 



Students also learn some important vocabulary terms, phrases, and a few phrasal verbs from the video. In the video, experts discuss safety concerns, the speed of the Hyperloop, and what some of the challenges will be. Students get to learn other terms related to engineering and travel like "encounter resistance" and "draft up blueprints". The grammar exercise features the passive voice and includes activities on this grammar point. There is a quiz and review section, as well as a bonus activity which you will find when downloading the original lesson on the Fluentize page for this lesson.



Hope you enjoy this fun and engaging Fluentize lesson plan!

The Hyperloop Experience: 700 MPH in a Tube

A unique take on song worksheets, this one has students navigate through a maze of possible song lyrics to find the actual order of song lyrics for the great song "Shotgun" by George Ezra. 



The ending of the song does loop, so be sure to warn students about that. Also, I find it best to let them listen once through, then loop individual sections so that they can really nail down certain parts of the maze, and then move on to the next section. Once everyone has everything mostly figured out, play the song once more all the way through, and finally go over the lyric meanings. My students were often very confused about why he keeps saying Shotgun in the song, but of course it refers to the passenger seat!



Not my original idea, but I did tweak this worksheet with some small improvements. Originally acquired from an SDC in Okinawa, Japan from a fellow ALT.
