Funny Regrets is an interesting way to finish up a syllabus, creates a giggle and shows 'you' the instructor how far that student has come on your course with both their writing abilities and their understanding of what you have taught them.

Ask your students to write about a 'funny regret' that they have in their life.

When all the students have finished this exercise ask them to read out what they have written to the rest of the class.

As this is a writing exercise you should remind students of the 'TAR technique'.

T Think
A Act
R Repair

Remind them that they need to think about what they are going to write and make notes. Then they should put their notes together and write down their 'funny regret'. Lastly they should check for any mistakes and ways of improving what they have written down.

This exercise encapsulates the course in a light moment to finish on and your students will leave their last lesson happy and in the knowledge that they learnt English on your language program.

As learning English is an ESL student's main focus then it is important that you highlight what they have achieved.

If your students leave their final lesson with a good command of English and laughing then you have succeeded!
