This is an upper intermediate (CEFR B2, IELTS 6.0) EFL Speaking class about stress. Students first describe pictures of people suffering from stress. Students should be encouraged to think about the causes of stress. Students then discuss general questions about stress. After that, students read a text about stress and its consequences. Target language (meditation, exercise, stress ball, sleep well, breathing exercise, therapist) is introduced in pictures. Four free production activities (rank and defend, pros and cons, discussion, agree/disagree) consolidate students’ learning and provide multiple opportunities to produce the language.
