Choice of mountain, city, country side & and beach. How did you get there? Choice of bike, plane, train, bus and car. Where did you stay? Choice of B&B, tent, hotel/hostel. What places did you do there? Choice of sightseeing, visit a museum, swimming & walking. Do you make usually make the reservation (to check if they’re familiar with the process) or their parents make it.

Exposure (4-6 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Ask students to carefully read slide no. 7, which is a hotel rating (explain further if not understood) and review with them if they are familiar with these preferences/vocabulary and if they would add any other category not included to make note of it.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Review with them inner harbor, vacancies, amenities, accommodation, features. See if they can locate some of these words on the hotel rating.

Clarification (2-4 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

inner harbor interior or internal part of a body of water with port facilities \ ‘i-nər \ \ ‘här-bər \ ammenities something that helps to provide comfort, convenience, or enjoyment \ ə-’me-nə-tē \ accommodation something supplied for convenience or to satisfy a need: such as a hotel, food, and services or traveling space and related services. \ ə-’kä-mə-’dā-shən \ vacancy : an unoccupied (available) piece of property such as a hotel room. \ ‘vā-kən(t)-sē \ feature = a characteristic or very prominent part \ ‘fē-chər \

Semi-Controlled Practice (4-6 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Afterwards, assign them their own slide and write their name on it, follow instructions and write down 3 of the most important things they look for in a hotel based on the rating slide or other features. When finished, (write done in the chat), assign them to breakout rooms, and have them exchange slides so that they can check on each other’s preferences, exchange opinions and offer input on grammar or spelling. You can monitor and clear up any additional options not included or any doubts they might have in general by sending private messages to students.
