Podcast: Kwanzaa
(Intermediate)
Kwanzaa is a festival that celebrates African culture and traditions. It starts on Dec 26 and ends on January 1. ESL Library has an intermediate level lesson plan about Kwanzaa in our Holidays & Events section. This week’s podcast features a reading from this lesson plan. In the lesson, students learn some brief history about the festival, including some of the important symbols. They also review and practice related words, idioms, and expressions. You can preview the reading through this podcast to see if is appropriate for your language learners. You can also assign it for extra listening practice. To see the full transcript and use the ready-made lesson plan in class, log in to ESL Library and choose our Holidays & Events section.
Your students can also find this episode on iTunes. This is episode #237.
