Lesson overview:
In this lesson, students explore the art of giving and responding to compliments in English. Through real-life dialogues, vocabulary practice, and interactive pair work, they’ll learn how to compliment others genuinely and react confidently instead of brushing it off.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- use common compliment expressions and reactions,
- understand cultural attitudes toward praise,
- respond appropriately in both formal and informal situations.
Lead-in:
Start with a short discussion: “How do you usually react when someone compliments you?” Have students share their experiences in pairs, then discuss why some people feel awkward accepting praise. This helps them reflect on cultural habits and sets the tone for the topic.
