Lesson overview:
This Galentine’s Day Speaking Club lesson is designed to spark lively conversations about friendship, self-love, and modern relationships. Perfect for A2-B1 learners, it focuses entirely on speaking fluency, opinion sharing, and natural interaction in a relaxed, discussion-driven format.
Students explore the idea of Galentine’s Day, reflect on the role of friendships in their lives, and discuss how social media shapes the way we celebrate relationships. With guided prompts and collaborative Miro activities, learners build confidence expressing personal experiences and reacting to others’ ideas in real time.
*Since this is a Speaking Club format, the lesson includes a main document for students and teachers, plus interactive Miro tasks — no homework, no extra worksheets, just meaningful communication practice.
Lead-in:
Start with a short video clip about February 13th and ask students to note three things: the holiday name, who it’s for, and how people celebrate it (e.g., brunch with girlfriends). This creates instant context and gives students clear “safe” talking points for the discussion.
