This lesson is based on an Oxford study predicting that 47% of jobs could be automated by 2035. Students practice Future forms (Future Perfect and Future Progressive) to talk about completed actions and ongoing processes at a future point in time.

GRAMMAR PRACTICE

Learners focus on using the Future Perfect to describe what will have been achieved and the Future Progressive to describe what will be happening in the future. Activities include gap-fills, sentence transformations, and scenario-based predictions.

VOCABULARY BUILDING

Students expand vocabulary related to careers, job satisfaction, and workplace change, learning expressions to discuss employment, technology, and professional goals.

SKILLS & ACTIVITIES

Learners read about the Oxford study, join debates on automation and human work, and role-play workplace scenarios. Writing tasks include creating predictions about future careers and reflecting on job satisfaction in the age of technology.
This ready-to-use ESL lesson plan is designed for adults, combining grammar, vocabulary, and communication tasks to build both accuracy and fluency.
