B2 – Body Positivity: Myth or Reality?

A B2-level body image speaking ESL lesson focused on discussing body positivity, social pressure, and how appearance affects the way people are treated. Based on an E! News video, students explore a controversial opinion, identify key vocabulary such as resentful, empowered, and nuanced, and practise using it in discussion and writing tasks. The lesson includes prediction, listening for gist and detail, vocabulary work, analysis of social media comments, speaking, and a final discussion. Clear, engaging, and easy to teach, this lesson helps students express more complex opinions and communicate more confidently.
