Exploring Bridges | EFL Reading and STEM Challenge on Engineering and Design

Bring the world of engineering into your English lessons with Exploring Bridges, a unique EFL resource that combines reading comprehension with a creative construction challenge.

Students first engage with an informative reading text that introduces different bridge types, materials, and key structural concepts like stability and load-bearing. Then, they apply what they’ve learned in a practical group task — building their own bridge model using everyday classroom materials.

Perfect for lessons that encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and topic-based language development, this activity helps learners explore real-world STEM concepts while improving their English.

This resource is also part of our Engineering & Maths | EFL Resource Pack which is available to download here.

Perfect For:

• TEFL, ESOL, and EAL teachers delivering cross-curricular STEM lessons
• Project-based learning that integrates English with science and design
• EFL learners developing vocabulary around materials, structure, and construction
• Team-building tasks that promote communication and collaboration
