Fact vs Opinion · B1+ · Is It OK to Use AI When Studying? | No-Prep ESL Listening Lesson

A ready-to-teach B1+ listening lesson on telling fact from opinion, built around a free 2-minute BBC Ideas video on using AI for study.

Students predict, match key words, then watch once for the big picture (who the video is for and the order of its five tips), and again to label each statement fact or opinion with the clue that helped. They notice how the video reports views with verbs such as worry that, see something as, advise someone to and suggest -ing, race in teams to complete sentences and label them F or O, and discuss AI and studying, supporting each opinion with a fact or example.

What's inside (one PDF):

• 12 colourful slides to project, with answer keys straight after each activity
• 4-page A4 exercise sheet: teacher's notes, answer key and a 2-page student worksheet
• Prediction, key words, two-step video tasks, notice-it grammar, team race and group discussion
• Links to the free video (no download needed); the worksheet works even without it
• Easier and Harder options, an online tip, an exit ticket and free homework links

Level: B1+ · Time: 60–75 minutes · Prep: play the video from the link and test the sound. Print, project and teach.
