Open with the lead-in questions about wedding experiences. A2 students can usually describe basic wedding elements like food and location, but they need support with specific vocabulary. The emoji activity on slide 3 makes vocabulary fun and visual. Students name items like rings, cake, and champagne without pressure.
The photo description on slide 4 gives students structured speaking practice. Use the seven questions to guide them through details like clothing, emotions, and setting. This prepares them for the vocabulary matching exercise. Words like “course meal” versus “buffet” might be new, so give examples from restaurants they know.
The practice sentences on slide 6 check whether students can use the new words correctly. After that, slide 7 flips the activity. Students create questions from statements, which helps them practice question formation at A2 level. Model the example first so they understand the pattern.
The Korean wedding video runs only 18 seconds but contains lots of information. Play it at least three times. Students answer comprehension questions about timing, clothing, and gift-giving customs. The categories activity helps them organize what they learned. After watching, the discussion questions let them compare Korean traditions to their own experiences.
The final section shows three famous weddings. Students describe what they see and make comparisons. This recycles the vocabulary naturally while keeping engagement high with recognizable faces. For homework, they write five sentences using new words about a real or imagined wedding.
