A one-page ESL discussion PDF on the U.S. Electoral College, featuring vocabulary, listening, and creative group activities. Perfect for printable or online classrooms, it’s easy to use and ideal for advanced and B1+ learners.
Do Americans actually get to choose their president? Engage your ESL students with a unique, one-page discussion activity on the U.S. Electoral College. This printable and online-friendly PDF dives into how the Electoral College shapes U.S. presidential elections.
Using a video that breaks down the Electoral College in simple terms, students work through listening comprehension and discussion questions, to better understand the Electoral College system. With five key vocabulary words—candidate, flag-bearer, rival, Congress, allotted, and disproportionate—students gain useful terminology before responding to thought-provoking statements like, “The results of the American presidential elections are exaggerated.”
Students then join groups to creatively brainstorm alternative ways to select a president. Perfect for advanced ESL learners but accessible to B1+ students, this activity brings authentic material into the ESL classroom without the hassle of staples or excessive printing.
