Selected topics in British culture

On this course you will examine aspects of past and present-day britain, either with direct studies of its society and culture or through its novelists and philosophers, artists, poets, mystics, and myth makers. you will have a chance to approach your chosen topic both in and outside the classroom – through discussion in small groups, analysis of texts, and field trips to iconic places outside oxford, such as stonehenge, cambridge, or hampton court..

I loved the amount of ways we were able to look at British culture through the course: through examining ideas and preoccupations, through doing individual research and writing essays, and through visiting the places where history actually occurred.

This course is offered as a series of discussion classes, in small groups. You will focus on one topic of your choice, out of 14 ‘selected topics’ (see the list below).

You will develop your close reading skills with study of ‘gobbets’ (short pieces of text which epitomise an argument or illustrate a technique), and hone your writing skills by producing two essays, after extensive reading, reflection, and class debate.

In addition, you will join the whole student group on field trips to memorable sites in Oxford and the south of England.  The field trips change from year to year, and in the past have included trips to Stonehenge and Salisbury cathedral, Winchester cathedral, Bath, Hampton Court in London, the HMS  Victory   moored in Portsmouth, and Cambridge.

The course is taught by specialists in each of SCIO’s major academic concentrations. Credit is offered in a number of disciplines, ranging from art and classics to history and philosophy. Each course will help you understand Britain and appreciate the rich past and present of the country where you live while on the programme. The full range of topics that you can choose from, and the disciplines you can get credit for, are listed below.

Table manners vary from country to country . From the way you eat to how you pay the bill, what’s polite in one country may be extremely rude in another. Avoid awkward situations by teaching your students proper British table etiquette.

When teaching about these topics, remember to  be culturally sensitive . There’s always a chance that you could unintentionally cause offense, so make sure you’re mindful of what you say and keep students’ conversations in check.

Start with a simple discussion of British food. Provide pictures and descriptions of different British dishes, asking students what they imagine them to taste like. You can use pre-made worksheets from a site like iSLCollective or ESL Printables . 

You could even turn this into a vocabulary game . If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, you could make a traditional British food and bring it to class for your students to try (just make sure there are no food allergy issues first). 

Explain the basics of British table manners to your students. Make sure you include the following points:

• How to order
• If you should share your food
• How to use your cutlery
• Who should pay the bill
• If you should leave a tip

Have your students demonstrate both the “dos” and the “don’ts” of dining in the UK, letting them have some fun with it. You can also show an engaging video like this one:

You can put the previous two exercises together in a restaurant role-play . In pairs or small groups, ask your students to create their own British menus. Then, have them role-play as customers, waiters and waitresses. This should be a relatively free activity, with minimal monitoring and feedback from the teacher.

Politeness and manners are important to many British people. A “please,” “thank you”   or even subtle body language can go a long way. If your students know the importance and use of this social etiquette, it will help improve their confidence in conversation.

Give your students a situation where they have to ask for something. For example, a boss asking an employee to finish a report, or a child asking their parents what’s for dinner.

Have students brainstorm different ways to ask for these things , from the least polite to the most. They can start with the most basic, direct demand and gradually move up to extremely polite requests. This will encourage them to be more creative with their language.

If you’re working with a lower-level group, try giving them the sentences yourself. Then, ask them to rank each request in order of politeness.

The first activity will give you an idea of what your students already know. You can build on this knowledge by giving students more vocabulary and phrases to use when they want to be polite .

Some language you could use includes:

Would you mind….?

Is it OK if I …..?

Could you….?

You can teach more polite language and behavior with a video like this one from Keystone English:

In addition to British manners, it includes some British English words like “trolley” for shopping cart and “garden” for yard. It also exposes viewers to a person speaking with a British accent, but slow enough to be more easily understood. 

Have a “ Requests and Responses” Treasure Hunt

Your students can put what they’ve learned to use in this fun treasure hunt game:

• Split students into groups and give each group a list of common belongings or classroom tools (for example: a pencil, a hair clip, etc.).
• Each group must work together to obtain the items on their list by finding someone who has each item and politely asking to borrow it. This can include other students in the class, as well as any staff who might be around to help.
• Prime everyone involved , letting them know that they should only hand the item over if they’re asked politely. Also, make sure the students keep a note of who every item belongs to so they can return it at the end of the class.

To add some excitement, make it a race . The group that successfully collects all of the items on their list first wins the activity.

Whether it’s about the weather, customer service or just plain old gossip, complaints tend to pop up frequently in conversation in Britain.

Giving your students the tools to complain and the freedom to do it without consequence can be really fun (just make sure to monitor conversations and make sure no one takes it too far).

In pairs or small groups, have your students list people or situations that could be cause for complaints . These could include hotels, traffic, siblings, an overbearing boss or anything they’d like.

Then, they can add specific annoyances to complain about for each one (like poor customer service, misunderstandings, unrealistic requests, etc.). Monitor this activity to make sure students remain respectful!

Next, your students can brainstorm ways of tackling the situations they’ve listed. Have them write sentences or short conversations about how to make and respond to these complaints.

An instructional video can also work well here. Make it interactive by pausing it to have your students repeat the key words and phrases.

If you have an advanced group, you could turn this into a formal letter-writing activity . Each group can write a letter of complaint, then switch and write responses to each other. This activity requires feedback and grammar checking from you.

Driving in a different country can be daunting. Even if you’re driving on the same side of the road as you do at home, the rules can be completely different.

If your students travel to England, this knowledge will help them navigate the roads when they rent a car, use public transportation and even be knowledgeable pedestrians.

They don’t have to go to England to benefit, though: Through these activities, students can practice giving instructions, following directions and talking about obligations.

Present your students with a variety of British road signs . Some of them may be familiar, while others will be completely new. In pairs, ask students to infer the meanings and write a sentence for each one . You could do this either with a worksheet or a PowerPoint presentation.

Once students finish writing, compare their answers to the true meanings and see how many they guessed correctly.

To wrap up your lesson, give your students a quiz on what they’ve learned. You could use a mock version of the British driving theory test  or pluck your questions straight from the highway code .

To get the most out of this activity, make sure students answer using complete sentences. Questions could include:

If a driver flashes their headlights at you, what should you do?

At a roundabout, who has the right of way? 

You could even use a video quiz and have your students share their answers verbally:

This is a fun way to test their knowledge and make sure they remember the information from the previous activities. If you want to make it competitive, you could offer a small prize to the person with the most correct answers.

The following activities will solidify some ideas about British culture for your students, as well as give them a chance to pick up some new grammar.

Lots of students struggle with modal verbs , and a cultural lesson is the perfect opportunity to elicit them and learn how to use them. To begin with, give a grammatical rundown so they can make sentences using verbs like “should” and “must.” 

Once your students are comfortable with the grammar, they can use it to write examples in relation to British culture. In groups or individually, have students write a list of rules for British etiquette using modal verbs wherever possible.

The lists could include sentences like the following:

You don’t have to shake someone’s hand every time you meet them.

You must wait patiently in a queue.

You should always say ‘sorry’ when you bump into someone.

If you have time, you could also ask students to write a similar list for their own culture. This forms a great basis for a discussion, in which you could make comparisons between all the different cultures represented in your class.

If you have the time and resources, have your students write and perform their own skits or even record a video of the “dos” and “don’ts” of British culture. 

Here’s an example of a simple video created by the teachers and students at the Communicate School of English in Manchester: 

Lessons on different cultures can be hugely beneficial to ESL students. Giving your students a chance to learn about British culture can help prepare them for many different experiences.

• If they plan to travel to the UK or study abroad , it will help to reduce the culture shock . They’ll feel more comfortable interacting with strangers as well as their host families and foreign friends.
• If they happen to work with any Brits, they’ll be able to talk to their co-workers while avoiding any social faux pas .
• As well as day-to-day life, cultural knowledge can be especially useful for citizenship tests . If any of your students plan to take the British citizenship test , cultural knowledge from your classes could help to get them through it.

Of course, not everyone has the luxury of being able to travel abroad or the opportunity to work with foreigners. For some, the only chance they get to talk to a native English speaker could be in their classes.

Knowing the culture behind the language can give English learners a valuable understanding of the situations and social norms where certain words, phrases and styles of speaking should be used.

Adjusting to different cultures can be difficult, especially when a second language is involved.

Lessons like these will help make it easier for your students, exposing them to glimpses of British culture in the classroom.

I used it with my students during our online lesson and we didn’t even have time to discuss all the topics, because they couldn’t stop talking. I was quite impressed how much they knew and also how well they could express their opinions.

One of the reasons why I love conversation activities is that I learn so much about my students. I think that we often underestimate our students and see them as the stereotypical lazy teenagers. Activities like these can show us that they are much more than that.

Updated: January 15, 2024

Published: August 09, 2023

Cooking is easy. The puzzle is figuring out what to eat. As soon as you know that, you can get started. The same holds for presentations. The sooner you can whip up a good, informative, and catchy topic, the easier the rest of the process becomes.

Pick a good topic that resonates with you and your audience to set a strong foundation. But select the wrong topic, and it becomes difficult to connect with your audience, find mutual interests, or hold their attention.

So, let’s learn how to develop thought-provoking and relevant topics for your presentations. You’ll also find some best practices to make your presentation memorable.

How to Choose a Great Presentation Topic in 5 Steps

120 presentation topic ideas, 5 presentation tips.

4. Choose an appropriate presentation style.

There are many ways to present a topic. Your personality, the topic at hand, and your audience’s personas will help you determine which style would best fit you and your audience.

Select a presentation style that will communicate the main idea clearly and have a lasting impact on your audience.

For instance, explore a freeform style presenter by Sir Ken Robinson.

5. Engage with your audience.

Work on your presentation skills to make a strong connection with your audience, get through to them and leave a mark.

Think of the presenter as the link between the topic and the audience. A strong or a weak presenter can make a difference between a presentation being a thriving success or a boring failure.

Hone your skills by engaging and interacting with your audience. Make them feel like a part of the presentation and not just spectators. 70% of marketers have found presentations with interactive content to be more effective than those without.

Here are a few ways you can make your presentation interactive:

• Start your speech with uncommon questions to your audience. Involve them from the get-go, like ask to raise their hands if X.
• Make eye contact to build credibility and show confidence. Don’t stare at your slides or notes. Smile occasionally and talk to the audience directly.
• Have an active and confident body language. Don’t stand in the same place the entire time. Move around the stage.
• Don’t be monotonous. Speak as you would to a colleague — with enthusiasm.
• Ask close-ended questions in between to keep the audience engaged without losing time. Address them using their names to keep things interesting.
• Share personal experiences and stories that your audience will find fascinating and relatable.
• Practice thoroughly before you present so you’re fluent with the material and delivery.
• Energy and excitement can be quite contagious. Make sure you exude enough to spread some to your audience.

Feeling Inspired Yet?

Now you have all the right ingredients for choosing amazing topics and a hundred ideas to drive inspiration from. So, go ahead and start cooking presentations that will blow your audience away.

Don’t forget to choose a super-relevant topic and add meaty information. Do it with excitement to make it enjoyable for you and your audience. Best of luck!

Wraparound childcare: Everything you need to know about before and after school childcare

We’re supporting working families through the UK government’s biggest ever investment in childcare, to make it more affordable, available and flexible.

As part of this announcement, we’re expanding wraparound care for primary school children across England by increasing the number of places available, to support working families.

But what exactly is wraparound childcare? We explain everything you need to know, from what it is to how you can access it.

What is wraparound childcare?

Wraparound childcare is before and after school care for primary school aged children in England during term time, such as  and regular afterschool provision that runs until 6pm or later.

The childcare should be available every school day outside of regular  school  hours and is aimed at helping parents access more  childcare  and work the hours they want to.

This is different from out-of-school activities, or school clubs, which are less frequent and can be a one-off activity.

Around 60 percent of primary schools across England offer wraparound childcare, both before and after school.

Private, voluntary, and independent providers, including childminders and early years settings, are also able to offer wraparound childcare. Often, it’s run on a school site or another setting in the local area.

How do I find wraparound childcare near me?

Parents looking for  childcare options  for their primary school child should speak to their child’s school or the Family Information Service run by their local authority to find out what wraparound childcare is currently available in the area.

From September 2024, parents can expect to see an increase in the number of wraparound childcare places available across the country.

We expect all parents who need it to have access to wraparound childcare, either from their school or from another provider in their local area, by September 2026.

We encourage parents to talk to their child’s school or the Family Information Service in their local authority about their need for wraparound childcare, even if it’s not currently available.

Who will be eligible for wraparound childcare?

Our ambition is that all parents in England with primary school aged children will be able to access wraparound care in their local area by September 2026.

How much will it cost and is financial support available ?

Providers will set their own fees for wraparound places, so prices will vary.

Parents will pay their wraparound childcare provider directly for their child’s place.

Parents eligible for  Tax-Free Childcare  or  Universal Credit Childcare  will be able to use the support to help pay for wraparound care.

Tax-Free Childcare could save eligible parents up to £2,000 per year for children aged up to 11, or £4,000 per year for children aged up to 17 with disabilities.

Universal Credit Childcare could save eligible parents up to 85% of their childcare costs for children aged up to 16.

To check if you are eligible for Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit Childcare, visit the Childcare Choices website.

What if wraparound childcare is not available in my area ?

If you live in England you can request that your child’s school consider setting up wraparound childcare for your child if they don’t already provide it.

You should write to your child’s school by letter or e-mail and include when you most need wraparound childcare, detailing the days and times you need it. The school will get back to you with a decision within a school-term.

How are we supporting local authorities to deliver the wraparound childcare expansion?

To make more available wraparound care possible, local authorities will receive a share of £289 million to help map out and accommodate the needs of parents in their area.

They will also be able to use the funds to test different ways to increase their wraparound options, including working with local private providers or partnering with schools.

We’re also giving local authorities a share of a further £100 million to ensure childcare settings in the area – including both early years and wraparound settings – have enough physical space to roll out the programme from next year.

What else are we doing to improve access to childcare for under 5s for working parents ?

We’re doubling the amount we are investing in childcare over the next few years from around £4 billion to around £8 billion each year.

As part of this investment, by September 2025, working parents will be able to claim 30 hours childcare a week, over 38 weeks of the year, all the way through from nine months up to their child starting school.

Nurseries are also set to receive a £204 million cash boost which they can use to ease cost pressures such as staffing costs, training and bills.
