Introduce your A2 students to modern family life with this engaging reading, vocabulary, and speaking ESL lesson.
Built around an authentic infographic video from The Australian Seniors Series: Empty Nesters, this lesson explores the growing trend of adult children moving back home while helping students develop practical vocabulary related to family life, household responsibilities, and independence.
Students begin by exploring the topic before reading for gist and specific details. They learn and practise useful vocabulary in context, give advice on everyday family situations, and build confidence through communicative speaking activities centred on the Boomerang Generation.
In this lesson, students will:
Discuss modern family life and the Boomerang Generation
Learn vocabulary related to independence, chores, household budgets, and family relationships
Read for gist and specific information
Practise giving advice in everyday situations
Perfect for A2 adult and teenage learners, this ready-to-teach lesson requires minimal preparation and encourages meaningful communication while developing practical language students can use to talk about family life and everyday responsibilities.
