ROBOT COMEDY

The theme of this lesson is comedy and robotics. Students watch Heather Knight of Marilyn Monrobot Labs giving a talk and demonstration of how a robot can be used to perform stand-up comedy. After watching the video, students study a variety of adjectives for describing different types of humour, comment on the robot’s performance and discuss humour-related topics. The worksheet key includes instructions for playing and pausing the video as well as selecting subtitles.

The dialogue-based lessons are really practical and students find the articles interesting. I’ve noticed a lot of progress in students who use Expemo. They easily remember what they learnt in previous lessons and seem to be very keen on the system.
