ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Four-Day Work Week ESL Lesson
For generations, the five-day working week has been considered normal. Today, companies and governments around the world are experimenting with a different idea: working four days instead of five.
This B1–B2 Four-Day Work Week ESL lesson explores working hours, work-life balance and productivity. Students consider whether employees can work fewer days without reducing how much they achieve.
The lesson combines an original reading and audio with vocabulary, comprehension, discussion questions and critical-thinking activities. Students use English to debate the advantages and disadvantages of a shorter working week and consider how the future of work might change.
