Our B2 First and C1 Advanced students will practise their speaking while they reflect on the importance of some aspects of Christmas. A2 Key and B1 Preliminary learners can get some Christmas ideas while they improve their reading skills. The youngest ones can have some fun while they talk to different classmates about Christmas activities. Happy teaching!  \n1.

Let’s talk about Christmas and non-Christmas-related  \nactivities people enjoy in winter-time.  \n• How much do you know about Christmas traditions?  \n• Are these traditions similar to the traditions where you live? If so, how?  \n• Do you have any special traditions that you share with your family and / or friends?  \n• Can you tell us about it?  \n• Do you make any non-Christmas related plans with friends and family during this time of the year?  \n• Can you tell us about them?  \nSpeaking (15’)– in groups of 3 (speaking done in pairs and the third member of the group should listen to provide feedback using the success criteria table below)  \nI’d like you to talk about something together.  \nHere are some aspects related to Christmas and a question for you to discuss. Talk to each other about aspects to consider when thinking about Christmas from a different and more inclusive  \nperspective.  \nFollow up (10’)– in groups of three  \nStudents taking part in the conversation should reflect on:  \n• Something they felt comfortable with  \n• Something they found difficult  \n• Something they think they did well  \n• Something they think they could have done better  \nThen, they should share their reflections and listen to their classmate’s feedback based on the success criteria.  \n\n| B2 First Speaking Success Criteria |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Grammar and Vocabulary | Yes | No | Comments / Examples |\n| Did your partner use simple grammar e.g. present simple, past simple, can? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner use some complex grammar e.g. modal verbs, future tenses, conditionals, perfect tenses, phrasal verbs? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner use synonyms? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner repeat the same words several times? |  |  |  |\n| Discourse Management | Yes | No | Comments / Examples |\n| Did your partner use longer sentences? |  |  |  |\n| Were there long pauses when your partner spoke? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner speak about the task? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner repeat their ideas? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner use connectors such as and, but, so, because, although, however, moreover? |  |  |  |\n| Pronunciation | Yes | No | Comments / Examples |\n| Could you understand your partner? |  |  |  |\n| Were there any problems with pronunciation that made communication difficult? |  |  |  |\n| Was intonation appropriate e.g. in questions, showing interest? |  |  |  |\n\n\n| Interactive Communication | Yes | No | Comments / Examples |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Did your partner start the conversation sometimes and respond to your ideas? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner help you reach a decision? |  |  |  |\n| Did your partner need some help when talking? |  |","cbCaidziOByzY7Bs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidziOByzY7Bs","pdf",990923,16,"English","# What is Christmas about?\n## Activity 1\n# Christmas plans\n## Activity 2\n# Find someone who…\n## Activity 3\n# References\n## Activity 4","[{\"question\":\"What skills do learners practice in Activity 1?\",\"answer\":\"Activity 1 focuses on reading and speaking, using whole-class warm-up and then group speaking followed by a reflective feedback stage.\"},{\"question\":\"How is feedback structured after the group conversation in Activity 1?\",\"answer\":\"Students reflect on what they felt comfortable with, what was difficult, what they did well, and what could be improved, then listen to classmates’ feedback using the success criteria table.\"},{\"question\":\"How do learners complete Activity 2: Christmas plans?\",\"answer\":\"Learners read eight activity descriptions and match the most suitable option to each person based on the given profiles, improving reading and speaking through the task context.\"}]","Christmas activities for all levels - Activity 1 - What is Christmas about? - 1 | PDF",1790853510]
