It focuses on practising vital listening, speaking, collaboration and critical thinking skills.  You will need at least 90 minutes to complete this lesson if used as a flipped ESL lesson. However, lessons can run up to 3 hours ( consider two  90-minute lessons or for university teachers to adjust as needed).

While targeting intermediate and upper-intermediate language learners of English, it is highly adaptable as it has been purposely designed to facilitate mixed-levelled classes. This includes targeting professionals in a tertiary institution such as a university or professional environment.
