Authentic Materials – listening lesson

Here is a listening lesson and webquest. It includes a lesson plan, worksheets and links to resources. You can use it in class with your students, or give them the webquest worksheet for them to work independently on a computer at school or at home.

The following lesson is based on an article and video from the BBC.

The article can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8601207.stm.

and you can find the video here:

This lesson was written with upper-intermediate teenagers in mind but with extra support could be done with a good intermediate class. The lesson would also be suitable for adults, especially those with an interest in education. The lesson uses a video for the listening but the lesson could be done without a visual element.
