Before we start the lesson, let's play a game! The game is called Where Am I? Here are the instructions to play the game:
One of the students will come to the front of the class and think of a place in the hotel.
The student will then have to say a word that can describe the place. For example, if the place is 'spa', then the word 'massage' can describe the place best.
The other students will then guess the place based on the word given.
Happy playing! 😆
In this activity, each student will receive a clue. There will be two types of clues. The first type of clue will be the name of the place's arrival and destination. For example, Gym -> Tennis court. Meanwhile, the other clue will be directions such as 'Go straight, turn left, and you will see a door to the outside part of the hotel. The tennis court is on your left.' Find the directions or the names of the places that match your clues by asking questions and see who your partner is! Good luck :D
Let's have another practice! This time, try creating a dialogue of asking and giving directions. However, the dialogue must have a broken direction, meaning there's a mistake. The directions should be around the place in the hotel. Create the dialogue with your partner from the previous activity and switch it with the other pair in class. Discuss it with your partner and correct the wrong part. Write it on the Padlet below and share your work with the class!Â
Look at the example of a broken direction below!
Guest: Excuse me, could you help me? I’m trying to find the Ceria Room.
Hotel Staff: Of course! The Ceria Room is on the ground floor, near the main entrance. (supposed to be near the side entrance).
Guest: How do I get there from here?
Hotel Staff: Sure! From here, go straight ahead toward the reception desk. On your left side (supposed to be right side), you’ll see the elevators. But you don’t need to take them—just keep going straight ahead (supposed to take the elevator down one level). You’ll find the main entrance (supposed to be the side entrance), and the Ceria Room is nearby.
Guest: Great, thank you! And could you also tell me where the gym is?
Hotel Staff: Certainly! The gym is located on the third floor (supposed to be on the fourth floor). To get there, go to the elevators near the reception desk. Take the elevator up to the third floor. When you exit the elevator, turn left, and you’ll see the gym at the end of the hallway, opposite (supposed to be along with) the Chi Spa.
Guest: Got it. One more thing—what about the lobby lounge? I’d like to stop by later.
Hotel Staff: You’re already here in the lobby lounge! This is a great place to relax. Feel free to order some drinks or snacks while you’re here.
Guest: Oh, I see. Thank you so much for your help!
Hotel Staff: You’re welcome! Enjoy your stay, and let us know if you need anything else.
Note: Yellow highlighted phrases are the broken directions
Let's do a role-play! Turn the class into a mini-map with landmarks! This time, each student will take turns participating as a hotelier and as a guest. Each student will have to do a role-play based on the map setup in class. Before doing the role-play, you will be given time to create the dialogue first. Pay attention to the language expressions and pronunciation. Happy practicing!
This is the scoring rubric for the speaking assessment. Pay attention to what aspects are being evaluated. Good luck!
Review time! Find a pair, then click the spinner to decide which situation you will play. This time, do the role-play spontaneously!
Awesome! You just finished the fourth lesson. You can continue to the topic: small talk. See you on the next page! 🥳👋
