Weekly Topic: Looking back, looking forward: A simple New Year lesson plan

Ms Cathy

Where do you want your study of English to take you in 2026?

For test prep students, this is a simple answer. They want the required score to get to their chosen university or career.

However, you may be studying English in order to stretch your mind and deepen your understanding of other cultures. On a more practical note, you may be travelling soon for work or personal reasons.  

Business English students value functional language. Additional study on 'small talk' topics will also help deepen their professional relationship bonds and strengthen their soft skills.

The New Year is a good time to take stock of your current situation. Where am I ? Where would I like to be? 

It is a good idea to bounce around your ideas for future study with your tutor. Reflection on your achievements from last year is also beneficial.

Create a simple plan for your future study with your tutor. Take the first step of your exciting  language journey in 2026!
