Lead-in
Introduce the topic of smart glasses, recently presented by Mark Zuckerberg. Students discuss questions about AI, wearable devices, everyday tech problems, and future features. This stage activates prior knowledge and sets a clear context for the rest of this free ESL lesson plan. Students then talk about other modern devices like home assistants, 3D printers, VR headsets, drones, or smartwatches and share their experiences.
Vocabulary Match
Students complete a matching task with ten definitions and ten key terms. Support learners by guiding them toward meaning and context when needed. This stage prepares them for the video and helps the vocabulary flow naturally through the rest of this free B2 ESL lesson plan.
Video, Questions
Students watch a short summary of the 2025 Meta presentation. While watching, they note five features of the smart glasses. Afterward, they answer comprehension questions to confirm understanding. These tasks strengthen listening skills and support the technology theme of this free ESL lesson plan.
Comments, Your Comment
Students read real YouTube comments from the original presentation and decide whether they agree or disagree. They then write their own two or three sentence comment expressing a personal opinion about smart glasses. This adds authentic communication to the free B2 ESL lesson plan and encourages clear written expression.
Practice
Students match sentence halves and complete a gap fill paragraph using the target vocabulary. This consolidation stage reinforces accuracy and builds confidence with the tech terms used throughout this free ESL lesson plan.
Opinions, Interview, Presentation
The final section focuses on fluency. Students first complete opinion starters, then take on roles in a journalist user interview. Finally, they prepare a short presentation imagining they are Meta engineers proposing a new feature. These tasks add creativity and speaking practice to the free B2 ESL lesson plan about technology.
