Protests | Podcast #117
At ESL-Library, we understand that language students want to talk about real issues. Over the past few years, protests have been taking place all over the world. Some groups are protesting corrupt governments, and others are protesting war or unemployment. The one thing most protests have in common is that people are fighting for a better life. Here in Canada, many students are protesting tuition hikes. Today’s podcast feature a reading from our NEW Discussion Starters lesson on Protests. In the related lesson plan, students read a short article about protests and riots. The lesson includes vocabulary review, comprehension questions, discussion questions, and an optional research project. We also encourage you to show “the pots and pans” video that we posted last week on our blog. View our entire Discussion Starters section for more lesson plans hat will get your students talking about issues that matter today.

Please introduce your students to our FREE podcasts. These can act as a preview to our Biography, Holiday, Discussion Starter, or Grammar Story lessons. They can also serve as extra listening homework to help your learners develop an understanding of the rhythm of English. Some teachers use our weekly podcast (posted every Wednesday) as a warm up for an online tutoring session.
