Introduction to Travel for ELLs
Why is it important to study travel for ELLs? Exploring the topic of travel provides a rich and engaging context for English language learners to practice their skills in all four language areas: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. By discussing cities, hometowns, and countries, students can connect their personal experiences to the broader world, making learning more meaningful and relevant.
In this class, we will embark on a journey of discovery. We'll learn how to ask about and describe cities, offer suggestions for travel destinations, and discuss the benefits and challenges of tourism. Along the way, we'll delve into grammar concepts like adverbs, conjunctions, and modal verbs, as well as pronunciation tips for common phrases.
To enhance our understanding, we'll listen to descriptions of cities and hometowns, identify incorrect information, and even create our own city guides. Additionally, we'll explore travel-related texts, such as magazine articles, to improve our reading comprehension. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the language and knowledge to confidently discuss travel and explore new places.
