We’re excited to share our second news-based English lesson on Fluentlicious! This time, we explore the fascinating discovery of possible life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Scientists recently found a gas in its atmosphere—dimethyl sulfide—that, on Earth, is only made by living organisms. Could this mean there’s life out there?
This real-life science mystery is perfect for sparking curiosity and conversation. The lesson includes three versions of the article (A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2), each tailored with vocabulary exercises, true/false questions, and discussion prompts. Whether you’re just starting out or nearly fluent, you’ll find language challenges and new ideas to explore.
Space, science, and language learning come together in a way that’s exciting and accessible. Students will learn not just English, but also fascinating facts about our universe. It’s a great way to build vocabulary, improve comprehension, and inspire learners to ask big questions.
