Description

Coronavirus is on everyones minds at the moment so why not learn and talk about it. This package is for intermediate, post intermediate, and advanced English students. 

Each lesson is mainly conversation based, however there are 4 topic areas, some skills in describing situations, using vocabulary and some simple grammar tips (if wanted) as listed:
  1. What's a virus? What's a pandemic? How is it different to a normal cold? How long will it last. This session addresses some terminology to describe the virus and it's spread across the globe? You express your understanding of the virus, the situation, whilst addressing some language terms, including using some simple future (e.g. will and might) language for making predictions.

  2. What's happening at work? how is it impacting your worklife? What other  issues are there for you, your colleagues and company. In this session we will predict and identify some language to use for describing behaviour at work.  What are people doing, feeling, and saying in order to respond to the situation. 
  3. What's happening at home and what are you doing to address the situation. This session allows you to express concerns, and actions that allow you to respond and cope with the current situation. You will describe our new daily routines but also share 1 or 2 stories about your recent experiences.
  4.  This session is a student's choice session. For example, you might like to discuss how your politicians in Japan are responding to the virus, or discuss how different friends or colleagues are "dealing with" the situation.
