About this lesson
This ready-to-use B2-level ESL lesson plan on what Europeans think about American life helps upper-intermediate English learners explore cultural differences between the United States and Europe. Through brainstorming tasks on American culture, an authentic video with note-taking, multiple-choice, and gap-fill exercises, open-ended discussion questions, and a detailed reading text comparing individualism, the American Dream, diversity, pragmatism, optimism, and patriotism with European values, followed by true or false comprehension questions, it's ideal for teachers aiming to develop students' cultural awareness, listening skills, and critical thinking at the upper-intermediate level.
