Medical Misinformation Online – Influencers

B1B2

A balanced opinion feature on dietary supplements and social media health misinformation, used to practise concessive argument structures, hedging language, and B2-level health and regulation vocabulary.

Learning objectives:
• Identify and produce concessive argument structures such as 'and yet', 'however', 'that said', and 'even so' to signal balanced reasoning
• Use key B2 vocabulary from the article — including 'misinformation', 'peer-reviewed', 'accountability', 'paternalism', and 'fallacy' — accurately in spoken discussion
• Distinguish between fact, opinion, and concession within a discursive text and reproduce these moves when expressing their own views
• Express nuanced personal opinions on health and lifestyle topics without overstating or dismissing either side of an argument
