This lesson plan on ESL business risk is an excellent resource for advanced students who want to improve their conversation skills and learn common risk describing and collocation words.
The lesson plan begins with a fun risk-identification activity, followed by engaging discussion questions that encourage students to reflect on risk in their personal and professional lives.
Students then practice using risk describing words through a definition task and a speaking activity based on real-life scenarios. Next, they create their own risk collocations and complete exercises related to a Business Insider video on the Olympics.
After watching the video, students use risk vocabulary to discuss the content before delving into a detailed analysis of quotes from the video. Finally, students study the grammar point of the second conditional and practice using it in a class discussion. Activity layout
