What is this lesson about?
This Love ESL lesson plan explores what happens to our brains and behaviour when we fall in love.
Based on the Life Noggin video The Real Reason We Do Stupid Things for Love, students discuss why love makes people act irrationally — and why that might not be such a bad thing.
 
How do students learn the new language?
Learners build fluency and emotional vocabulary through:
lively discussions on how love affects judgement and personality
science-based video questions that make complex ideas easy to talk about
speaking tasks comparing logic vs emotion in relationships
reflection and humour-based wrap-ups
 
Why is this lesson useful?
It helps advanced learners talk naturally about emotions, relationships, and human behaviour — topics that spark engagement and reveal personality.
 
Who is it for?
C1–C2 adult learners and teachers who enjoy intelligent, conversation-first lessons blending psychology, humour, and language learning.
