Description

In this receptive skills lesson, students first clarify vocabulary related to airports via a listening exercise and matching game. This will be followed by a pre-reading activity where the students are asked to discuss their favorite airports and look at the title and pictures related to the text and predict what the text is about. In the next stage, the students will first read for gist to check their predictions, then read for more detail by answering questions related to the text. Finally, students will revisit some vocabulary from the text to clarify meaning via a matching activity. The lesson will end with a speaking task where the students respond to the text via a role play activity.
