In this Business English lesson plan for adults, students watch an educational video about work burnout and how to avoid it. It includes discussion questions and other speaking activities about burnout and workplace issues. Students also learn some important vocabulary terms and phrases from the video. The post-viewing sections include activities on a video quote, missing letters, and parts of speech. There are additional speaking tasks included, as well as a quiz and review section with a bonus activity.

Burnout occurs when passionate, committed people become deeply disillusioned with a job that they had previously derived much of their identity and meaning from.
