Beyond for Switzerland A2+ Unit 8: Communicative Activities

These communicative activities give students opportunities to use English meaningfully while working with films, books, and personal opinions. They are self‑created activities designed to support and extend the work done in Beyond for Switzerland A2+ Unit 8. Through reading, speaking, grammar, and writing tasks, learners practise the present perfect, compare it with the past simple, and express opinions about films and books.

• Writing a book review with theory and guided practice
• Interviewing classmates about movies
• Reading and responding to film reviews (The Fault in Our Stars and Gravity)
• Using “How long” cards to practise the present perfect
• Completing a gap‑fill comparing past simple and present perfect
