Summer is almost over. New year about to start.
If you’d like to:
– build a real bond with your students;
– have a fresh start with the class;
– give young people opportunity to express thoughts and doubts about future;
This might just be the place to start.
I knew that it was going to happen eventually. Gary Vaynerchuk is a great speaker and a fantastic source of content for ESL classes but, there are so many other speakers that limiting myself only to Gary felt wrong.
When I saw Ewa Błaszczak, my homie from Warsaw, Poland, giving a Tedx Talk about sarcasm, I knew that I will want to use it in my classes and share with you guys. Very interesting topic, some advanced vocabulary but also a bit of accent and pronunciation issues.
Great content for self study and those upper-intermediate classes. Have fun and… put an END to sarcasm.
Level: B2 and up
Product executive from Chase Business Banking, Brent Reinhard and Gary Vaynerchuk talk to small business owners about financing, social media and other challanges of running a family business.
The episode is pretty long so I decided to use only the first 25 minutes of the show.
Who knows maybe some day I’ll make a worksheet for the second part either 😉
Level: B2 and up
Can hustling make you rich?
Can having 10000 followers make you rich?
Can being a ‘big fish in a small pond’ make you rich?
The video was recorded in 2014 so it’s well-aged, but surprisingly crisp and up-to-date. The video and worksheet are going to make a really decent listening lesson with quite a bit of discussion.
Level: B1 and up
One of my favorite videos.
Really cool for teenage students, as most of the questions come from teenagers… Assuming you are ok with 18+ language in your class.
If you’re not OK talking about having pussy for breakfast, don’t even try!
don't overthink shit
