Lesson overview:
In this lesson, students explore the world of running through race vocabulary, reading, and discussion. They learn terms related to the sport, read about why running has become so popular, and use the language in opinion-based speaking and a coaching role-play.
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- talk about races, training, and running goals
- understand a text about modern running culture
- use new vocabulary in discussions and pair work
Lead-in:
Start by showing the lesson images and asking students what they have in common. Then move into a quick discussion about races, run clubs, medals, and running apps. This works well because the visuals immediately introduce the topic and help students connect running with both lifestyle and competition before they meet the target language.
