Thinking Critically in English: Unidade didática para o ensino de inglês

Abstract

For this final paper, two units were produced taking into consideration the aspects of language learning. The first unit focuses on the simple future WILL for prediction. The second unit focuses on the use of GOING TO structure for future plans. The reason I chose to produce units that are somehow related, it is simply because students could not differentiate both future structures, so my goal here is to make clear how to use both structures. The first unit produced is aimed at young adults who attend a language institute, with an intermediate level of English. The main topic of the unit is to talk about possible future jobs and innovations using will. The unit itself presents topics that suitable to learners that have working experience, who is aware of future innovations, who is able to think about the future and make predictions about the future.
