THE FUN AUDIT | FREQUENCY & ROUTINE HABITS DISCOURSE
The Fun Audit is an interactive digital speaking activity that encourages students to analyze and talk about their daily routines, hobbies, and lifestyles. By prompting learners to reflect on how they spend their free time, this application provides a natural, communicative context for practicing frequency expressions and routine-based grammar.
Linguistic Targets & Everyday English
The primary linguistic targets are adverbs of frequency (e.g., seldom, occasionally, constantly) and temporal prepositions (on weekends, during the summer). Targeted at CEFR A1-B2 levels, the activity helps students develop fluency when describing personal routines, comparing habits with peers, and expressing personal preferences with appropriate qualifiers.
Classroom Workflows & Sociometric Surveys
Teachers can use the Fun Audit to conduct class surveys or speed-dating style interviews. Students interview three peers about their audit results, compiling statistics on who has the most balanced lifestyle. Follow-up activities can include writing a summary of their partner's habits, prompting the transition from first-person to third-person singular grammar forms.
Differentiated Adaptability
For beginner students, the focus remains on simple present tense structures and basic frequency adverbs. Advanced students can use the activity to debate work-life balance, discuss the psychology of habits, or design a "healthy routine plan" using persuasive language and conditional advice templates.
