Summary
This downloadable PDF lesson plan for English teachers introduces vocabulary and grammar for comparing products. This ESL class material provides a structured lesson for A2 students to practice comparatives and superlatives in a business context.

Activities
- Students activate their existing knowledge by comparing personal items like phones, using basic comparatives to discuss features like size, price, and quality.
- A vocabulary exercise introduces six key adjectives for describing products, such as "reliable," "efficient," and "user-friendly," through a simple definition-matching task.
- The lesson includes a listening comprehension exercise where students fill in the gaps in a smartphone review, helping them recognize comparative and superlative forms in context.
- A reading activity about two competing companies reinforces grammar, requiring students to complete a market report with the correct form of various adjectives from a word bank.
- The final speaking task is a role-play where students prepare a short product pitch, applying the new vocabulary and grammar to a practical, business-oriented scenario.
Vocabulary focus
This lesson focuses on adjectives essential for business communication and product descriptions. Students will learn and practice using words such as reliable, affordable, efficient, user-friendly, powerful, and innovative. These terms are crucial for analyzing products, understanding market reports, and making persuasive arguments in a professional setting.
Grammar focus
The core grammar point is the formation and use of comparative and superlative adjectives. The lesson clearly explains the rules for different types of adjectives: adding -er/-est to short words (fast, faster), using more/the most with longer words (expensive, more expensive), and recognizing common irregular forms (good, better, the best).
