ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Future of Work ESL Lesson
Artificial intelligence is already changing the workplace, completing tasks that once required human workers and raising questions about which jobs may disappear, change or be created.
This B1–B2 Future of Work ESL lesson explores how automation is transforming jobs and careers. Students examine why adaptability, empathy and creativity may become increasingly valuable as technology improves.
Students evaluate six different professions, decide which jobs are safe, changing or disappearing, and identify the human skills that may protect workers from automation. They then develop career advice for a future shaped by AI.
