This ready-to-use ESL lesson helps B1–B2 students practise extreme adjectives through authentic listening and guided speaking tasks using a clip from Modern Family.

Students first revise and categorise extreme adjectives, then watch selected scenes to infer emotions, attitudes, and reactions, justifying their answers with evidence from the dialogue. The lesson ends with personalised speaking and writing tasks to reinforce meaning and use.

The activities are carefully scaffolded, making this lesson suitable for both confident B2 learners and supported B1 students (captions recommended for B1).

Includes:

• Student worksheet
• Answer key
• Pre-watching, while-watching, and post-watching activities

Level: B1–B2
Skills: Listening, speaking, vocabulary
Timing: 45–60 minutes
Age group: Teens & adults
