B2 thirteen-to-fifteen-year-olds can engage with the future analytically, not just aspirationally. These 50 questions challenge upper-intermediate early teens to discuss whether traditional career paths are disappearing, how technology might change their daily lives within a decade, what responsibilities their generation has for environmental problems they did not create, and whether the education system prepares them for the world ahead.
The vocabulary reflects analytical thinking about change: words like 'automation', 'disruption', 'sustainability', 'innovation', 'generation', and 'inequality' combine with argument structures like 'the main issue is...', 'it is possible that...', and 'one argument against this is...' that scaffold the evaluative, speculative discourse B2 demands.
Critical Futures Thinking at B2
Early teens at B2 are old enough to read the news and worry about the future but young enough to maintain optimism about their ability to change things. This combination produces discussions that are both critically rigorous and refreshingly hopeful. When a fourteen-year-old weighs the costs and benefits of artificial intelligence, they bring a perspective that adult discussions often lack.
Running Speculative Discussions With Early Teens
Use a mix of personal and societal questions within each session. A question about individual career plans followed by one about automation creates productive tension that keeps students thinking. YapYapGo's question variety ensures each session covers both dimensions.
