The ESL lesson on texting abbreviations continues with some discussion questions about the ideas in the video. Then, students read a list of text messages. They work out what the abbreviation in bold might stand for (e.g. idc, btw, bc). They also choose three messages and write a response, using abbreviations where possible. After that, students are given cards with abbreviations. They pick a situation from a list (e.g. asking your partner about dinner plans; telling your partner you’re busy shopping) and write a text message. Their partner picks an abbreviation and responds. Students continue until they have used up all the situations.
