Underwater travel advice

This week at LanguageLab we practised using English language related to going on holiday.

The first part of the lesson was spent doing vocabulary work. We matched the names of holiday destinations and items of clothing with pictures.
This kind of vocabulary work is very useful. It’s the kind of activity you might find yourself doing in English lessons all over the world.

The second part of the lesson was a little different. The students had to work independently to create a holiday
itinerary. They needed to choose a destination, find a flight,
decide on some activities they would do on holiday and then choose some clothes to take with them that would suit both the destination and the activities.

Although the students had to work independently they were not alone! This is because two of our resident native English speakers,
Griffin and Lane stepped in to help out.
Griffin was working at Millie’s
Cafe so he was on hand to give students advice about travel destinations. He also showed them some websites they could use to
find flights. Once students had chosen their destinations they went to LanguageLab’s clothing
store, Periwinkles and discussed the kind of outfits they would need with Lane

For the final part of the class we met back at Millie’s café and talked about the holidays we had planned, the flights we had selected and the three
outfits we had chosen. Everyone said that it was a little difficult to work alone at first but that it was really useful to get advice from the City People.

Have a look at the photos I took of my outfits. Where do you think I chose to go? Why did I choose those outfits? Write your responses in the comments please.
