From Prisoner to PhD.

In this EFL Lesson students follow the story of an ex-prisoner who has turned his life around.

Students watch a short video from BBC ideas called ‘I went from prisoner to PhD’ and listen for both general and specific information. They discuss their opinion on the purpose of prisons, practice vocabulary related to crimes and punishments and finish the lesson by judging various crimes in groups/pairs. Additional follow-up tasks are included in the teacher’s notes.
