Overview

This lesson focuses on equipping students with the language skills necessary for a simple hotel check-in dialogue. Learning and practising this dialogue will enable students to communicate effectively in English during travel or hospitality-related situations.

We start with some optional warmer activities that revise previous course material. We also provide notes on suggested boardwork to visually introduce the hotel check-in dialogue. This is followed by ESL classroom activities where students get hands-on practice with the check-in dialogue, simulating real-life interactions. We've also included a suggested homework task to support learning outside of the classroom. And finally, as is our tradition, we wrap up the lesson with a fun classroom game that reinforces the material covered earlier in the course.
