As a language teacher, it’s important to engage our students in different topics that are relevant and interesting to them. One of the ways to do that is to explore the future possibilities. In this blog post, I want to share with you a lesson plan on the topic of future possibility that I used during my Cambridge DELTA course, which received a pass grade. Here are some of the comments from my DELTA tutor:
-
Overall, Charlie, this was a generally effective lesson, and you met your aims to a good degree.
-
Your materials were excellent.
-
In terms of practice activities, the students certainly had plenty of useful and intensive practice.
-
Overall, and effective lesson of strong Pass standard. It was very useful for the students, well done.
This lesson plan is a grammar lesson that focuses on making predictions about the future on a variety of different topics. The aim is to help students understand the different ways we can talk about the future and the language we use to do so. The lesson is designed for a A2/B1 level class, but it can be adapted to other levels.
The lesson plan consists of various stages which you can follow by downloading the procedure below. This download also contains the materials mentioned such as the surveys and the wordwall task online.
The lesson uses the inductive approach towards grammar and you will introduce the language and structures used to talk about future possibilities, such as the ones below.
The presentation for the lesson plan is available for free, but to teach the lesson, you will need to buy the lesson plan procedure and materials, as I did.
Overall, this lesson plan is a great way to engage students in a relevant and interesting topic while also teaching them important grammar structures. I highly recommend this lesson plan for any language teacher looking to teach the topic of future possibility.
