Present students with a handout that contains 14 phrases or words in the context of jobs and have the students match them to the appropriate image. This will be done on their own, and afterwards, they'll be paired into BORs to discuss their answers. a good salary, sick pay, opportunities for promotion, my own office, friendly colleagues, job security, long holidays, flexible working hours, opportunities for travel, holiday pay, on-the-job training, lots of responsibility, a good boss, a company car.
Ask for volunteers to share the phrases they had the most trouble with, if any. If none are presented, continue to model the pronunciation of the lexis.
Have students complete phrases in context of jobs in Google forms. Model how to complete them beforehand. Have them compare answers in BORs afterwards. Finally, show answer key in presentation.
Students will write five sentences about their current job or one they would like to have in the future using the phrases learned in Test 1. Afterwards, they will compare answers in pairs using BORs to see if they find similarities between them.
Students will share the similarities they had with their partners, if any.
