Description

In this lesson, students learn a basic vocabulary in the context of hotels/travel. The lesson starts with a discussion about the top 5 that hotels must have. This is followed by exercises to reinforce vocabulary and also work on the pronunciation of more trickier words. Finally, there is semi-controlled practice through discussion about the best hotel the students have ever stayed. If time, there will be role play as a freer practice to help their spoken fluency.
