Innovation and Change: A Model Academic English Lesson

In this model lesson for teachers of academic English, we will learn how modern inventors make a big impact by creating simple solutions for big problems. We will also evaluate the importance of inventions and write a problem/solution paragraph about how one of them has improved people's lives. At National Geographic Learning, we believe that innovation can greatly benefit education and we will share how our Academic Skills program, Pathways, introduces learners and educators to exciting new ideas, authentic content, and digital resources which will bring positive changes to your classroom.
