An Interracial Marriage – a Talking Points lesson for English reading & speaking

This is part of the Talking Points lesson series for Intermediate to Advanced students.

Some countries of the world have a very insular culture and do not promote the idea of any interracial marriages. In some parts of the world, this is largely a taboo subject.

If you are in such a place, this lesson could be very useful as the students express their views. Try to get them to explain why their culture does not allow for interracial marriages or relationships.

But if you are teaching in a county that has a very relaxed approach to interracial marriages, you could then find they have strong opinions why this is a good thing.

Wherever you are, this lesson should help you as the teacher to make your students start talking English in class.

This subject is very engaging and should definitely create much debate and discussion in your English or ESL class.

The lesson comes complete with:

• a 500-word article

• a table of essential vocabulary

• a big list of questions for discussion

Start the class with the three opening questions and then do the reading. Then you can go through all the vocabulary – or set it as homework for the students to do later.

Then there is a big list of questions that are designed to get your students talking.

It comes in easy to use PDF format, ideal for printing for your needs. Use it again and again for your English/ESL classes.
