Embracing Fatherhood

This ESL lesson plan dives into modern fatherhood, focusing on speaking and listening skills in a C1-level flipped classroom format for adults. Students will explore themes like paternity leave, gender roles, and work-life balance through pre-class activities, including vocabulary practice and video analysis. In the classroom, learners engage in storytelling, opinion sharing, and debates, enhancing their ability to express complex ideas and discuss societal issues in a structured group setting.

Can give a clear, well-structured presentation of a complex subject, expanding and supporting points of view at some length with subsidiary points, reasons, and relevant examples.
