The idea with this lesson is twofold (love that word):
- get sts thinking about what is appropriate in different text types.
- make them more aware of what they can learn from the little things all around them.
It’s a simple little lesson but it works.
- Level: pre-intermediate and above
- Time: 1 -2 hours
- Aims: see above
Materials:
- worksheet (word): text types
- worksheet (PDF): text types
- Teachers’ worksheet: text types teachers’ copy

Many thanks Vanessa, I am a strong believer that if we don’t highlight linguistic features, we can’t really expect students to successfully replicate them
