ESL Lesson Plan: Parenting: Convo

This B2 ESL conversation class is all about parenting! It follows on from the main B2 lesson plan about the parenting styles, which you can find here.

In this B2 conversation class on parenting, students will explore; parenting styles, family rules, real-life parenting dilemmas, and common myths and opinions about raising children. 

Your students will share personal experiences, express opinions, and debate ideas, while reflecting on how parenting choices affect children’s behaviour, development, and wellbeing.

The lesson is carefully structured to provide support while encouraging independent discussion, helping students make progress in English through meaningful, thought-provoking conversation.
