Lesson Topic: Everyday Conversations and Informal English

Objective: To enhance students' listening, speaking, and comprehension skills by analysing


and practicing everyday conversations and informal language used in a popular TV show.

Step 1: Pre-Watching Activities


1. Vocabulary Preview: Introduce students to key vocabulary and phrases they might
encounter in the episode. This could include slang, idiomatic expressions, and
colloquial language commonly used in casual conversations.
2. Discussion: Begin a class discussion about television shows, genres, and why they are
popular. This can help students relate to the content and understand its cultural
significance.

Step 2: Watching the Episode


1. Choose an Appropriate Episode: Select an episode of Eastenders that features a
variety of everyday conversations and interactions among characters. Choose one
with clear audio and good visual quality.
2. Listening Comprehension: Have students watch the episode with English subtitles.
Ask them to focus on understanding the main plot points, characters' interactions,
and informal language usage.

Step 3: Post-Watching Activities


1. Discussion and Analysis: After watching the episode, facilitate a class discussion
about what happened in the episode, the relationships between characters, and any
dramatic or humorous moments. Encourage students to share their thoughts and
impressions.
2. Character Conversations: Prepare a few short excerpts from the episode where
characters engage in informal conversations. Play these excerpts and have students
work in pairs or small groups to analyse the dialogues. Ask questions like:
 What was the context of this conversation?
 What emotions were the characters expressing?
 Were there any idiomatic expressions or slang terms used?
 How did the characters' tone and body language contribute to the
conversation?
3. Role-Playing: Assign pairs of students to role-play scenes from the episode. They can
use the informal language and expressions they learned from watching. Encourage
creativity and natural conversation flow.
4. Writing Exercise: Ask students to write a summary of the episode using their own
words. Encourage them to include details about the characters, plot, and any
interesting conversations they observed.

Step 4: Language Practice


1. Language Exercises: Create exercises that focus on specific language points observed
in the episode, such as slang usage, idiomatic expressions, informal greetings, etc.
2. Slang Dictionary: Have students create a slang dictionary or glossary based on the
informal language they encountered in the episode. They can define the terms and
provide examples of how they were used.
Incorporating popular TV shows like Eastenders into ESL lessons can make the learning
experience more enjoyable and relevant for students. It provides them with exposure to
authentic language use in real-life contexts while fostering their listening, speaking, and
comprehension skills.
