This EFL lesson plan is designed around a beautiful short film by Conor Finnegan and the theme of fears. Students write sentences, dictate sentences, speak, and watch a short film. I first saw the grammar dictation activity in a presentation by Scott Thornbury titled My Favourite Grammar Activities at a TESOL-Spain conference in 2007.

I would ask all teachers who use Film English to consider buying my book Film in Action as the royalties which I receive from sales help to keep the website completely free.

Language level: Intermediate (B1) - Upper Intermediate (B2)

Learner type:Teens and adults

Time: 90 minutes

Activity: Dictation, speaking, writing and watching a short film

Topic: Fears

Language: Adjective + prepositions

Materials: Short film
Downloadable materials: fear of flying lesson instructions

Step 1
Prepare eight sentences about yourself using adjective plus preposition combinations. Four of the sentences should be true and four false. These are the sentences I wrote:

1. I'm terrified of flying.

2. I'm fond of ironing.

3. I'm frightened of being alone at night.

4. I'm worried about not having enough money.

5. I'm accustomed to living abroad.

6. I'm proud of having written a book.

7. I'm famous for being a great cook.

8. I'm addicted to watching films.
Step 2
Tell your students that you are going to dictate 8 sentences about yourself to them. Repeat each sentence. Pair students and ask them to compare their sentences. When they are ready elicit the correct sentences and write them on the board.
Step 3
Ask students what the sentences have in common. They should be able to tell you that the sentences all share the same construction:

to be + adjective + preposition + gerund
Step 4
Tell students that four of the sentences are true and four false. Ask them to discuss which sentences they think are true and give reasons why.
Step 5
Go through each sentence and ask students why they think it is true or false, tell them the truth and explain something about each sentence.
Step 6
Tell students you would like them to write eight sentences about themselves four of which should be true and four false. They should use the same construction you used in your sentences:

to be + adjective + preposition + gerund

Ask them if they know any other adjective + preposition combinations. Elicit combinations and write them on the board. If they can't come up with many combinations you might like to give them some examples such as:

anxious about; bored of; capable of; committed to; concerned about; content with; dedicated to; disappointed with; excited about; frightened of; guilty of; happy about; interested in; known for; responsible for; scared of and tired of.

Give them ten minutes to write their sentences.
Step 7
When students are ready ask Student A to dictate his/her sentences to Student B who then has to say whether they think they are true or false. Student A must explain something about each sentence. When they have finished they should change roles.
Step 8
Ask students to explain two things they didn't know about their partner to the rest of the class.
Step 9
Write afraid on the board and ask students which preposition goes with it. Ask them what they are afraid of.
Step 10
Ask students if they are frightened. If you have a student who is afraid of flying ask them what they do to overcome their fear. Ask students what advice they would give to a person who is afraid of flying to overcome this fear.
Step 11
Ask students to imagine they are a bird called Dougal who is afraid of flying. Put them in small groups and ask them to discuss the following questions:

How do you think Dougal feels?

What do you think Dougal's life is like?

How could Dougal overcome his fear?

When students are ready get feedback from the whole class.
Step 12
Tell students that they are going to watch a short film in which they see Dougal. As they watch the film they should compare their answers in the previous step to what they see and hear in the film. Show the film and pause at 05:24.

FEAR OF FLYING from conorfinnegan on Vimeo.
Step 13
Ask students how Dougal feels and what his life is like. Ask them how they think Dougal is going to migrate south.
Step 14
Now show the rest of the film. Ask students the following questions:

How did the film make you feel?

Does the film have a message?
Step 15
Put students into pairs and ask them to discuss the following questions:

What are the most common fears?

What were you afraid of when you were a child?

What's the best way to overcome a fear?

I hope you enjoy this EFL lesson plan.

to play safe = to be cautious and minimise risks. We can also say play it safe, e.g. I'm probably being overcautious but I'm going to play it safe and allow an extra hour to get to the airport in time.

There are many situations in which there is a risk of something bad happening (e.g. it might rain on your way to work). Some people are happy to take this risk (and not take an umbrella). Other people would prefer to play it safe (and take an umbrella).

to put up with somebody/something= to tolerate somebody or something.

We might use this phrasal verb to say that someone or something is doing something annoying or frustrating, but we are willing to accept the situation. e.g. Jason is very difficult to work with, but we put up with him because he comes up with such original ideas.

If we use the phrasal verb negatively (e.g. I won't/can't put up with this situation anymore), it means that we are not willing to tolerate a situation, or unable to. e.g. I've really tried, but I don't think I can put up with his rudeness much longer.

to run out of something= to use something up/finish something, meaning that there is none remaining

This phrasal verb can be used both with physical things (e.g. food) as well as more abstract things (e.g. time, patience, money, energy).

It is common to use the phrasal verb in the present perfect in order to focus on a present result, e.g. We have run out of milk = we need to go and buy some/I can't make a cup of tea.

The phrasal verb can also be used in the continuous, to communicate the idea that something is close to being gone/used up, e.g. We're running out of sugar - can you add it to the shopping list?
