B1: 4-Day Workweek

To deepen your understanding of the 4-day workweek class, students can engage in supplementary activities that target key language skills while exploring this modern work trend. These exercises focus on vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading, and writing, all centered around the concept of the 4-day workweek. Here’s how students can benefit: Vocabulary Building: Activities like matching definitions and sentence completion with terms such as "market rate" and "flexible working arrangement" help students confidently use relevant vocabulary when discussing work schedules and workplace policies. Grammar Practice: Grammar exercises involve constructing sentences related to work routines and hypothetical scenarios, such as, "If I worked four days a week, I would have more free time," allowing students to practice conditionals and modals in context. Listening Skills Development: Listening exercises, including videos or discussions on the pros and cons of the 4-day workweek, provide real-life examples and help students improve comprehension of spoken English in workplace settings. Reading Comprehension: By reading articles and case studies on companies that have implemented the 4-day workweek, students can analyze the benefits and challenges of this model, enhancing their reading skills and critical thinking. Writing Improvement: Writing tasks, such as essays or reports, encourage students to express their views on whether the 4-day workweek would be beneficial, helping them develop clarity and coherence in their written communication.
