This is a vocabulary and idiom lesson for intermediate students. The aim is to highlight the metaphorical concept in English that Time is Money. The emphasis is on meaning, with activities to incorporate these expressions into use. Another aim of this lesson is to think critically about the Time is Money metaphor and its effect on contemporary society.
COURSEBOOK LINK: Try linking this lesson in with any coursebook unit on work. It could be used as an extension class, after students have talked about their jobs.
Stage One Ask students to complete this puzzle: X= 24Y= 1440Z= 86400ZZ What is X, Y, Z and ZZ? Answer: day, hour, minutes, seconds. Tell the class that todays lesson is on Time.
Stage Two Ask students to match the two halves of the proverbs and quotes about money in pairs. Check back answers with the whole class. What do they mean? Can the students rephrase them? Do an example for the first one: When you are at a party and you are enjoying yourself, it feels like time goes faster.
Answers: Time flies when youre having fun. The early bird gets the worm. Never put off to tomorrow what you can do today. A stitch in time saves nine.
Stage Three Ask students to work with a different partner and to ask and answer the questions in the Time Survey. Check the meaning of any unknown words. Do feedback on this exercise at the end. Did the students find anything that surprised them? If you have time, get the students to ask you the questions too.
Stage Four Explain the metaphor Time is Money in English using the expressions. Are there any others in the proverbs or survey that use the same metaphor? For extra practise ask the students to look at the four examples of Time is Money in #3. They should write a four-line dialogue that includes one of the expressions (therefore giving them some context).
Stage Five Ask the students what they think of the idea that Time is Money. Is it true? Do they have any similar expressions in their own language? Do they think that society is obsessed with time? Read out the two quotes on page 2 of the handout. What do the students think? Explain the expressions in a rush/hurry and take your time. Then put students into groups of three to discuss the second set of questions.
