TeachingEnglish A night out in Newcastle Submitted by NikPeachey on 4 December, 2003 - 12:00 Support for ESOL teachers The plan is predominantly aimed at younger learners who are more likely to have an active night/social life. It addresses issues of drinking and socialising, which may not be appropriate for some ESOL students, depending on their cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs.

Reading can sometimes be a very solitary experience and many teachers prefer to get students to do it at home, but with the right kind of text and the right tasks, reading can be turned into a fun, collaborative and communicative experience. This lesson exploits an authentic text taken from a British Council 'UKinfocus' website and has a range of quite simple tasks that students work through in groups. There are also a range of suggestions for follow up tasks. Note this is an old plan, so the webpage it links to is no longer available. You can print out the texts from the lesson plan below though. Topic: Things to do in a city at night Age: Teenage/adult Level: Intermediate and above Timing: 60-90 mins Aims: To develop reading skills To develop the ability to work co-operatively in a group To develop the ability to deduce meaning from context Plan components Lesson Plan: guide for teacher on procedure including answers to tasks.
