I’m going to improve my English
In this group activity, students discuss ways to improve their English and practice using
‘going to’ for future intentions.

Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each student.

Procedure

Divide the students into groups of four and give each student a copy of the worksheet.

Tell the students to discuss and brainstorm how they could improve their English. Tell them
to choose the best three ideas from the group and note these down on their worksheet.

Working alone, the students then choose six things that they are going to do to improve their
English. They choose one idea from each category they discussed, e.g. I’m going to speak
English for one hour a day.

When the students have finished, ask them to pair up with someone from another group.

The pairs of students then compare their ideas and give reasons for their choices.

Finally, find out which were the most popular ideas by getting feedback from around the
class.
