About this lesson
This unit focuses on the benefits of learning a foreign language and the role of technology in that process. It includes reading passages about why learning a foreign language matters and a story about Ramy's journey with English in Liverpool, where he overcomes communication problems by using a language app. Listening tasks cover a multilingual student's journey and modern technology for language learning. Speaking activities involve discussions and role-plays using conditional sentences. Writing tasks include essays and an informal email. Grammar instruction covers countable and uncountable nouns with quantifiers such as some, any, much, many, a few, and a little. By the end, students should be able to discuss language learning benefits, use quantifiers correctly, and write essays and informal emails on related topics.
