ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This A1–A2 Fast Fashion ESL Lesson
A new T-shirt can cost about the same as a cup of coffee. Fast-fashion stores sell new clothes very quickly and at very low prices, but the price tag does not show every cost behind the product.
This free A1–A2 Fast Fashion ESL lesson gives beginner and elementary learners accessible language for discussing clothes and shopping. Students explore price, quality, factories, second-hand clothes and why cheap clothing may wear out quickly.
The lesson includes a short reading and audio, five vocabulary items, true-or-false comprehension, discussion, The Price Test critical-thinking activity, a speaking challenge and a 60–100 word writing task.
