LESSON OVERVIEW

The main objectives of this lesson are to:

  • talk about different payment methods;
  • practise key vocabulary for payments.

In this CRC lesson, students discuss questions involving cash, review useful phrases related to payment methods (e.g. digital wallet, loose change, money transfer) and talk about the article they read at home. They share their thoughts on cash and digital payments, describe and compare ways of paying in everyday situations and reflect on changes in payment habits.

ACTIVITIES

This lesson starts with a warm-up. Students complete questions with the word ‘cash’ (e.g. Do you have any cash on you?). They then answer the questions. Moving on, students use key language (e.g. bank account, loose change, digital wallet) to complete statements about ways to pay. Afterwards, they say what the article they read at home was about using some phrases (e.g. new payment method, in the Uber app, drivers). Following that, students discuss questions about types of payment and attitudes to cash. Next, they do tasks where they compare and choose payment methods for different situations and people. Then, students look at situations related to changes in how people pay for goods and services (e.g. your country decides to stop using cash altogether). They discuss how likely those situations are and their impact on them and others.

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
