Lead-in, Interior design styles
This free ESL lesson plan for your B2 English class is designed to engage adult learners in a creative exploration of interior design styles. Ideal for an interactive and dynamic classroom environment, this lesson begins with a lead-in activity where students imagine and describe their classmates’ living spaces, focusing on different apartment styles. They compare their descriptions with peers, setting the stage for a lively discussion and practice of English skills. In the next section, students examine six pictures representing various interior design styles, including Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Bohemian, Industrial, Japandi, and Maximalist. This activity encourages detailed observation and discussion about which styles resonate most with them, making this ESL lesson plan both practical and visually engaging.
Vocabulary, Video
The vocabulary segment prepares students by having them match familiar and unfamiliar words, setting the context for the main video activity. Students will watch a short TikTok video on the top five design tips, which serves as the centerpiece of this video ESL lesson. This allows them to see the vocabulary in action, enhancing both their understanding and retention.
Comprehension, Listening, Discussion
For comprehension and listening practice, students recall how specific words were used in the video, create example sentences, and fill in blanks from an audio clip extracted from the video. The lesson then transitions into a discussion about improving living spaces, focusing on affordable yet stylish furnishings and the challenges of designing a room from scratch. This section is particularly engaging for adult learners who are interested in practical, real-world applications of English. The speaking activity that follows ties back to the initial lead-in, where students choose a piece of furniture or decoration for their classmates, fostering creativity and conversation.
