Language Level: Intermediate to upper-intermediate

Learner: Teens; Adults

Activity: Speaking, vocabulary, listening, writing, presentation

Time: 60- 70 mins

Topic: In-flight safety procedure

Materials: Video, realia

This lesson plan is a great way of teaching and getting students to use the vocabulary connected with travelling by plane, it’s also an excellent follow-up to the lesson about ‘Air travel: inside story’ from  New English File – upper-intermediate level coursebook.

By the end of the lesson students will be able to use the vocabulary connected with flying and write instructions the other should follow.

I used this plan during few classes with intermediate and upper-inter level students, the last part of the lesson is  lots of fun as we all were sitting ‘on a plane’ and listening to the ‘cabin crew’.

Outline:

Brainstorm ideas on the vocab necessary to explain in-flight safety procedure (10mins)

Watch video to check the vocab and ideas (15mins)

Write a plan of a safety procedure (20mins)

Present the safety procedure ( depends on the number of students 10-20mins)
