LESSON PREVIEW
ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Advanced Future of Work ESL Lesson
Artificial intelligence is reaching forms of work that were once considered safe from automation. Software can now draft contracts, create music, analyse medical images and produce convincing written content in seconds.
This C1–C2 lesson explores which jobs and skills may remain valuable as AI spreads, why physical and deeply personal work can be difficult to automate, and how workers may adapt to a rapidly changing labour market.
Students assess the automation risk of different professions, debate what should remain human, and propose and defend a response to large-scale AI-driven job losses.
