How it works

From choosing a material to teaching the lesson

Big Talk Club materials are designed so you can open a file and start teaching straight away. Here's the full path, from picking a material to what happens inside the lesson itself.

The whole path

Eleven steps, one path

Pick what today's lesson needs

A full lesson, a short warm up activity, practice with one piece of language, or a speaking task. Each family of materials solves a different problem for the teacher.

Open the ready made files

Every lesson comes as two PDFs, ready for print and for working on screen, one for the student, one for the teacher, plus a matching interactive version once the platform is live.

Teach with almost no preparation

The teacher version includes notes for every stage, timing for each part and a full answer key.

Inside the lesson

Every lesson follows the same path, from the first thought about the topic to using the new language in a real conversation.

Starting point

What the student already knows and thinks about the topic, before meeting anything new.

Input

The student reads, watches or listens to something genuinely worth thinking about.

Language

They pick up the vocabulary, collocations, grammar and functional language the topic needs.

Reuse

They meet the same language again before using it on their own.

Speaking

They use the language to say what they actually think.

Challenge

They rank options, choose a side, defend it, or try to change someone's mind.

Real life

They connect the topic and the language back to their own experience, not just the exercise.

Listen again

In lessons with a podcast, students hear the same language again, in a new, natural conversation.

Along the way

What you get along the way

Two ready made files

A student version and a teacher version, ready for print and for working on screen.

Notes for every stage

Timing for each part and guidance on how to run it.

A full answer key

Ready answers for every language task in the lesson.
