Unlock 1 – Listening and Speaking

About These Unlock 1 Listening & Speaking Lesson Plans

These Unlock 1 Listening & Speaking lesson plans are organised unit by unit, each built around a everyday topic – from people and seasons to jobs, homes, and travel. Every unit pairs a listening task with guided speaking practice, so learners build the confidence to understand spoken English and respond naturally in simple conversations.These lesson plans work well both for teachers new to the Unlock series and for those looking to supplement an existing course with extra structured speaking practice. Units can be taught in sequence as a full course or selected individually to target a specific topic or skill area a class needs more work on.

For the companion Reading & Writing strand at the same level, see the Unlock 1 lesson plans hub, and for background on the coursebook itself, the Cambridge Unlock series page is a useful reference. This page brings together listening and speaking lesson plans for Unlock 1, helping learners build confidence in spoken English through guided practice and real classroom activities.
