This is a 55-minute group class, and it is important to note that if only one student attends, the class time will be reduced to 30 minutes In this lesson, we will explore the topic of whether or not gaming has negative impacts on one's well-being. Through a careful examination of various articles both for and against the argument, we will engage in thoughtful discussions to better understand the issue at hand. In addition, you will have the opportunity to craft a concise and compelling argument, either in agreement or disagreement with the notion that gaming is harmful. You will be reading, writing, discussing and having conversations. Please have a paper and pen with you for the lesson.

This lesson provides a context for students to use and expand their vocabulary related to technology, health, and lifestyle. They can learn new words and phrases related to the topic, and practice using them in conversations and writing. Secondly, discussing a controversial issue encourages critical thinking and requires students to express and defend their opinions in English, helping to develop their speaking and writing skills. They can practise organising their thoughts and ideas, making clear arguments and supporting evidence, and using language to persuade others. Finally, by engaging in group discussions and debates, students can improve their listening and comprehension skills by actively listening to their peers and responding appropriately. They can also learn to understand different accents, speaking styles, and viewpoints, which can be useful in real-life situations. Overall, discussing this topic in English can be an engaging and practical way for ESL teenagers to practise and improve their language skills.
