What you get
Make weekends come alive in your ESL class! This pre-intermediate workbook gets students talking about how they spend their free time, balance chores with fun, and recharge for the week ahead. With videos, role-plays, and practical vocabulary, it turns everyday weekend routines into engaging speaking, listening, and vocabulary practice.
The vocabulary section gives students the language they need to talk about rest, routines, and recharging on the weekend. From everyday expressions like “to chill out” or “to run some errands” to modern lifestyle phrases such as “digital detox” and “quality time”, learners expand their toolkit for real-life conversations about balance, relaxation, and productivity.
✅ Ice-breaker discussion (+ picture-based task)
✅ Guided discussions (engaging questions about relaxation, planning, and making weekends meaningful)
✅ Video-based activity (watching a video with follow-up vocabulary and comprehension tasks)
✅ Vocabulary practice (targeted words and phrases for balance, routines, relaxation, chores, and free-time activities)
✅ Personalized writing task (creating a wishlist)
✅ Case study discussions (students read and analyze short weekend scenarios, then discuss in pairs/groups)
✅ Pronunciation practice (repetition drills of highlighted vocabulary for fluency and pronunciation accuracy)
✅ Summary activity (students write their own sentences with new words/phrases)
