DATING – Love is in the air

by · Published · Updated

50-60 minutes class

BRAINSTORMING

Start off with a brainstorming about love and dating, so that your students can start focusing about today’s topic and feel good about themselves for speaking a few words. Guess what, brainstorming is all about ideas, there is no right or wrong answer. Get them exited for class and keep their phrases or words on the side to then check later on how many we can actually match with the class.

WARM UP

Now let’s move on to some fun cheesy catch up lines to either make your students laugh or cringe a little. This will break the ice, trust me 😉 (Have you ever heard of any of the followings? What was the cheesiest catch up line you have been told? Let me know in the comments)

“I wish I was your mirror, so I could look at you every morning.”

“Send me a picture, so I can send Santa my wish list.”

A: Did it hurt?

B: hurt? 

A: When you fell from heaven.

CONVERSATION

Now, in the conversation I always write in bold idioms or key vocabulary. These are the words that the students potentially may not know or that instead need to be studied because they are frequently used in this topic.

  1. How do people meet in your country?
  2. Have you ever used a dating app? Or a dating agency?
  3. How can we find the perfect match?
  4. Now let’s say you have a date, how do you get ready? Do you dress up for the occasion?
  5. What do you do on a date? What would your perfect date look like?
  6. Who foots the bill? (= who pays?) Do you split the bill?
  7. What are your thoughts about skinship in public?
  8. Let’s say you had a good date. What are the next important steps? For example, is it important to keep texting during the day?
  9. Are you up for couples outfits?
  10. What is the worst and/or the best date you have ever had?
  11. These days “ghosting” seems to have become a trend. (to ghost somebody = suddenly cease contact). What are your thoughts around this new trend?
  12. Let’s say the date went really bad, will you still keep each other’s phone numbers and social media or do you delete everything?
  13. These days we often come across many foreigners, would you date a foreigner? Maybe dating people of different cultures may seem exciting, however wouldn’t it be difficult? What could be a problem in your opinion?

HOMEWORK and/or FINAL EXERCISE

I know, nobody likes homework, however a good exercise would be choosing one of the questions and writing it down. Why? Because by writing down we can see and fix those errors that might seem superficial in the conversation.
