Podcast: Winter Olympics
Sochi (Feb 7-23, 2014)
The Winter Olympics is rolling around again! Due to many requests from teachers, ESL-Library has developed a brand NEW lesson plan for subscribers to try. Our team of teachers, writers, editors, artists, and designers has worked very hard on this lesson, and we are very proud of the finished product! Today’s podcast features a reading from our intermediate Holiday lesson plan about the Winter Olympics. In the full lesson plan, English learners read some interesting history about the Winter Olympics. They answer comprehension questions, review vocabulary, and practice using superlative and comparative adjectives. They also watch a video (optional) and learn the names of all of the winter events. This lesson includes a competitive guessing game where your students will “Go for Gold”, as well as a matching activity from our Winter Olympics flashcard set. Use this audio with the optional gap-fill activity on the final page.
To see the full transcript and use our ready-made lesson plan in class, log in to ESL-Library and choose our Holiday section.
