Lesson Description

In this ESL lesson plan for adults and teens, students watch an animated TED-Ed video about how money laundering works. It includes discussion questions, conversation, and other activities about white-collar and financial crimes. Students learn some important vocabulary words, phrases, and expressions from the video.

There are additional speaking tasks included, as well as a quiz and review section.

Video Description

Money laundering is the term for any process that “cleans” illegally obtained funds of their “dirty” criminal origins, allowing them to be used within the legal economy. And the practice is about as old as money itself. But how does it actually work? Delena D. Spann describes the ins and outs of money laundering.
