What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will explore what to do when technology stops working, through a picture-matching task, a gapped quick start guide for a new laptop and a phone call between an employee and the IT helpdesk. They will build vocabulary related to devices and everyday tech problems, including seven high-frequency phrasal verbs, and notice how separable phrasal verbs work with pronouns (plug it in, shut it down). They will strengthen reading skills with true or false questions and speaking skills through a helpdesk role play with three scenario cards, useful phrases for users and helpdesk staff, and instructions with First, Then, Finally. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to describe a simple tech problem, follow and give basic instructions, and use the tech phrasal verbs accurately in an English lesson plan built for real-life situations.
