This quit coffee ESL lesson plan helps upper-intermediate learners (B2) explore the effects of caffeine on health, mood, and daily habits. Based on a 30-day video challenge about giving up coffee, students learn wellness-related vocabulary (cold turkey, circadian rhythm, performance enhancer, etc.), practise natural expressions (out of control, nursing a headache, bouncing out of bed, etc.), and share their own routines and experiences. Through listening, gap-fills, debates, and reflection tasks, learners gain confidence discussing habits, energy, and motivation in English.

How do students learn the new language?

Learners progress through a structured sequence of activities:

• Warm-up discussion on caffeine, routines, and daily habits.

• Agree/disagree activity to spark debate about coffee culture.

• Vocabulary matching & gap-fills with wellness-related terms.

• Video activity: Quitting Coffee – Is Life Better Without It?

• Comprehension tasks (gist, true/false, detailed questions).

• Natural English expressions in context with gap-fills and discussion.

• Reflection questions to connect learning with personal lifestyle choices.
  

Why is this lesson useful?

By the end of the session, students can:

• Use vocabulary and expressions to describe caffeine and wellness.

• Talk confidently about daily habits, routines, and lifestyle changes.

• Share personal opinions and experiences in English.

• Reflect on real-world topics while improving fluency.
