Lesson Description
What is this lesson about?
This advanced speaking lesson explores what truly makes people lovely — beyond charm, politeness, or success. Based on The School of Life’s video Who Are the Loveliest People in the World?, students discuss empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity through rich vocabulary and thought-provoking tasks.
How do students learn the new language?
Learners express opinions, compare perspectives, and reflect on human nature through:
-
engaging warm-up discussions and personality vocabulary sorting
-
quote-based interpretation from the video
-
scenario debates and self-awareness questions
-
reflection and humour-based wrap-ups
Why is this lesson useful?
It helps advanced learners speak more naturally and deeply about personality, emotions, and self-understanding — essential for meaningful real-life communication.
Who is it for?
C1–C2 adult learners and teachers who enjoy psychologically aware, conversation-driven English lessons focused on wellbeing, empathy, and self-reflection.
