This is an upper intermediate (CEFR B2, IELTS 6.0) EFL Speaking class about mountains. Students begin the class by describing four pictures of mountains. A short discussion follows. Target language (summit, tree line, cliff, slope, valley, ridge) is introduced using photographs. Students then match the vocabulary to the meaning. Students will then brainstorm the different kinds of animals that live in the mountains. Six images are then shown, each showing a different animal (cougar, snow leopard, golden eagle, ibex, black bear, hare). Students then rank the most dangerous animal to the least dangerous. Finally, students give their opinions in an agree/disagree activity.
