Lead-in, Discussion
This B1-level lesson focuses on solo travel. It begins with a lead-in activity where students visit the City Guesser website, choose a city for a virtual tour, and practice speaking by describing the surroundings and sharing personal impressions. Students will also try to locate the city on a map, making it a fun and interactive warm-up for a lesson about traveling. Next, students will explore the definition of solo travel and answer questions related to traveling alone. They will also participate in a discussion about what they consider important when traveling. Students will choose factors such as comfort, local culture, food, safety, and more, and express their opinions while exchanging ideas with classmates.
Vocabulary match, Vocabulary practice
The lesson continues with a vocabulary exercise. Students will preview several key words that will appear in the video later. They will begin by matching the words with their definitions. After this, they will complete a practice task where they replace the highlighted words in sentences with the vocabulary they just learned.
Video, Questions
This lesson revolves around a TikTok video about solo travel, where a traveler shares their experiences and discusses the benefits of traveling alone. After watching the video once or twice, students will answer comprehension questions and participate in a discussion to share their thoughts and insights.
Speaking, Agree or disagree, Scenarios
The next part of the lesson includes a series of speaking activities. First, students will choose a country and create a list of tips for someone traveling solo for the first time. They’ll consider topics such as safety, meeting new people, and managing loneliness. This is followed by an agree-or-disagree exercise, where students will read various statements about solo travel and express their opinions on each one. The final speaking activity involves scenarios. Situations will be displayed on the screen, and students will read each one, explain what they would do, and justify their answers.
