This a pre-intermediate (CEFR B1, IELTS 5.0) EFL speaking class about holidays. Students begin the class with a description of some photographs of holidays, after which they discuss their last holiday with a partner. Target language (luggage, guided tour, currency, souvenir, resort, hotel reservation) is introduced using photographs, after which students read sentences and complete a gap-fill using this new vocabulary. In a controlled practice activity, students then use the newly-introduced vocabulary in a discussion. The penultimate activity involves students stating their ideal holiday. Finally, students read about four types of holiday (a tour of European capitals, a Hawaiian beach holiday, a hiking trip to Peru, and a city break in New York) before discussing their favourite option.
