Fluentize ESL Lesson: Office Small Talk Questions
Fluentize ESL Lesson: Office Small Talk Questions is a pre-intermediate lesson built around a short video of two colleagues catching up on a Monday morning. Fluentize, which writes ESL lesson plans around real videos, sets preview questions, viewing tasks in multiple choice, error correction and short answer form, vocabulary for workplace chat, dialogue building and a role-play, with a quiz and a reflection at the end.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: The lesson page is open to anyone with no account: the video plays, and the overview, objectives, topics, viewing tasks, vocabulary areas and speaking activities are all set out, together with a preview of the lesson plan. The teaching materials themselves — the printable and interactive PDF lesson plans, the Google Slides version and the teacher's guide — are unlocked for three dollars and forty-nine cents for this lesson.
How It Helps Your Business English
The lesson is built on a video of two colleagues talking about jobs, family and the weekend. Around it sit preview and discussion questions, viewing tasks in multiple choice, error correction and short answer form, vocabulary for small talk at work, a dialogue-building section, a role-play of a workplace conversation, and a quiz with a reflection.
You watch the conversation first and answer the viewing questions, then use the target phrases in the correction and dialogue tasks before building a conversation of your own in the role-play. A teacher can run it straight through in one class; on your own you can watch the video, answer the questions and say the dialogues aloud. The reflection at the end asks what you would use at work.
