Merry Christmas from all at TUGtoC

The author traditionally uses Christmas adverts as a basis for themed lessons, but was not inspired by John Lewis’ ad this year. Instead, the content for the current year’s lesson is centered on Aldi’s 2023 Christmas advertisement. The lesson, prepared on Google Slides, can be freely used and adapted by the readers.

As in previous years, I would like to share a Christmas lesson with you all. Anyone who has been a subscriber for a while will know how much I love to use the Christmas adverts to create a lesson which I can use with all my different classes in the lead up to Christmas. Unfortunately, unlike in previous years, I wasn’t inspired by the John Lewis Advertisement this year so have looked elsewhere to find something to get us into the holiday spirit.

This year’s lesson centres around Aldi’s 2023 Christmas advertisement. The lead up to the advert requires a few steps to ensure that the students can fully enjoy the advertisement. Having tried the lesson out on a couple of classes, I would advise using it only with higher levels and only with students who know Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you want something to do with lower levels you might want to go back to my previous Christmas lessons which can be found below..

I have laid out this lesson on Google Slides which you are welcome to use. If you want to edit the slides to adapt the lesson for your teaching context and/or to reduce the level for your learners, you can make a copy and then edit.
