Desks are set up in groups of 4 or 5. Each group is given realia of items you would bring to an airport: Back pack Passport Money Boarding card Guide book Airplane pillow Ear plugs Toiletries Plastic knife Lighter * these terms will only be used to activate their schemata and provide them with more potential vocab for the freer activities. Ss read the 3 questions on the board and discuss. 1) Where will I bring these items? 2) What is each item? 3) What do you use it for? 2 or 3 Ss will switch groups and discuss what items they have on their desk. ICQ: *to new people in group* What will you tell them about? (the items on the other desk). *to people who were already in the group* What will you tell them about (the items on the desk) T: Where will I bring these items? (An airport) CCQ: Ss say “going on a trip” Draw the following on the board Home --> _______ -->Trip … where do have to go first? T: Can any of these things cause problems at an airport? (plastic knife & lighter) Who will stop me from bringing this (security) Post the vocabulary for each item, ask Ss to bring the items to the front and put it under the right word.

Ss receive a photocopy of T’s boarding pass. Ss write down what information they can gather from the boarding pass. Potential answers: Name, date, time, gate, seat, point of origin, destination … this will help with some of the vocab in the listening activity. Ss within each group come to the board and write some of the info they found. Review potentially complicated vocab on the board using pictures. - If Ss need more structure, write “From: Toronto” or “Flight: AC 810”

Ss listen to the dialogues and ID which picture best represents each dialogue. ICQ

Ss listen to the text again and answer the A/B/C questions. Peer check. IQC: Listen and...?

Ss practice Q&A between a ticket agent and customer. Write ticket agent & customer on the board, tell Ss this is their conversation. Ss line up in two groups. The first Ss is the first “writer”, the last Ss is the “finder”. The two writers go into the hallway with the T, Ss will see the question and practice the pronunciation with the T (30 seconds max). Ss will come back in and whisper to person #2, who will whisper to #3, then #4, then to #5. Ss #5 has to find the question they just heard from the list of question papers, they then flip over the paper to find the answers. Ss then whisper the answer back up the chain and #1 has to write the answer on the board, the fastest team gets a point. Multiple rounds can be played. Ss rotate roles after each round. *Physically demonstrate instructions. ICQ: What does person #1 do? #5? Q&A: Can I buy a ticket to Istanbul? A: Yes, I can help you. How much is the ticket? A: It will be 350TL What time does it leave? A: It leaves at 3:00p.m. When will I get my boarding pass? A: You will get it at check-in. What should I bring? A: Your passport and bags. How many bags can I bring? A: You can bring two bags. Is there anything I can’t bring? A: The security guard will not let you bring a lighter. How do I pay? A: I can take your credit card. CCQ: Who was speaking? What were they talking about?

Ss write questions that a ticket agent could ask, using examples used in previous activity. Ss work with a partner and practice the questions and thinking of potential answers to some of these questions. ICQ: Do we write the questions or answers (questions)

Ss sit back to back and with their partner and have a telephone conversation based on the questions written in the previous activity. Ss will then switch partners and have to think of answers to these new questions. ICQ: will you look at your partner? (no)

Ss draw a 4X4 chart in their notebooks and T draws one on the board. Ss go and write one or two word they remember from the lesson on the board. T fills in any gaps. Ss write in the words mixed up in their notebooks. Ss volunteers take a paper and throw it at the board, whatever word it lands on they must use it in a sentence, and Ss mark it off in their books. Ss to get one row (or two depending on time) wins.
