Why this lesson works
Everyone has worked in a team where effort wasn’t shared equally, at school, at university or at work. That shared experience makes social loafing a perfect discussion topic: students have stories to tell and opinions to defend. The authentic video introduces the idea in an engaging way, and the lesson then guides students from understanding the concept to discussing real situations and possible solutions. It’s a great fit for business English, team-building sessions and university students.
How the flipped classroom format helps
Students work on the pre-class worksheet before the lesson, so they come to class ready to use the new vocabulary. Class time goes to what matters most in a speaking club: real conversation. The presentation leads the discussion, so it’s easy to teach online or face to face with minimal preparation.
