WHAT'S INSIDE
- Real-World Context: Navigate social friction and group decision-making while planning travel or social activities.
- Listening & Speaking: Listen to a dynamic conversation between friends planning a trip and decode speaker intent, individual "travel styles," and natural conversational flow.
- Vocabulary in Context: Practise idiomatic phrases for expressing interest, refusal, and uncertainty (e.g., I’m all in!, Count me in, That’s a dealbreaker, I’m kind of torn, I'd kill for...).
- Guided Practice: Complete matching and categorisation tasks, analyse useful expressions from the dialogue, and identify differences in tone and intensity (e.g. soft vs strong reactions).
- Fluency Building: Take part in scenario-based speaking tasks where students react to realistic travel situations using target expressions, and practise upgrading neutral language to more natural, expressive English.
- Interactive Task: Work in groups to solve a travel dilemma using role cards (e.g. Adventure Seeker, Comfort Seeker), negotiate opinions, and reach a final decision.
