👩🏫 Teaching Practice Tip (for ELT Candidates)
One of the most common challenges trainee teachers face during their TP (Teaching Practice) is encouraging students to speak spontaneously and reflect critically. This lesson does that for you. By using a high-interest video and structured pair/group tasks, you create a natural setup for learner talk and opinion sharing—something inspectors and trainers love to see.
Bonus: The campaign task at the end is perfect for assessment and real-world engagement.
📍 Why It’s Great for Malta
Malta is surrounded by the sea—making marine environmentalism an especially relevant topic. It also connects naturally to cross-curricular themes (geography, citizenship, ecology), often encouraged in ELT syllabi.
If you’re studying at an English Language Teaching Centre in Malta (like the ELA or NSTS), or preparing for interviews or demo lessons, this is a smart resource to include in your toolkit.
