LESSON OVERVIEW

This free ESL lesson plan on travel has been designed for adults and young adults at an intermediate (B1/B2) to advanced (C1/C2) level and should last around 45 to 60 minutes for one student.

Whether it’s exploring new places, or relaxing in familiar ones, everyone loves travelling. In fact, many people learning English are doing so for that exact reason. In the past, travelling to exotic locations was only for the super-rich. Now, with the expansion of budget airlines and cheap packages, the world is a lot more accessible to a lot more people. In this ESL lesson plan on travel, students will have the opportunity to discuss and express their opinions on issues such as how much they like travelling, the best places they have visited and different forms of travel.

This lesson plan could also be used with your students to debate these issues for World Tourism Day , which takes place in September. For more lesson plans on international days and important holidays, see the  calendar of world days  to plan your classes for these special occasions.

For advice on how to use this English lesson plan and  other lesson plans  on this site, see the  guide for ESL teachers .

PRE-CLASS ACTIVITIES

Reading activity Before the English class, send the following article to the students and ask them to read it while making a list of any new vocabulary or phrases they find (explain any the students don’t understand in the class):

World of Wanderlust | The Top 25 Best Destinations in the World

The article provides descriptions of some of the most visited tourist destinations in the world. At the start of the class, hold a brief discussion about what the students thought about the article. Have the students visited any of these places? If so, what did they think about them? Which of the places on the list would they most like to visit and why? Can they think of any of the destinations that should not be on the list? Which other destinations should be on a list of the best destinations in the world?

Video activity To save time in class for the conversation activities, the English teacher can ask the students to watch the video below and answer the listening questions in Section 3 of the lesson plan at home. There are intermediate listening questions and advanced listening questions so teachers can decide which would be more appropriate for their students. Check the answers in the class.

The video for this class is called “The Point of Travel” by The School of Life which views travel as a kind of therapy that can help us with our emotional state of mind.

IN-CLASS ACTIVITIES

The focus in the class is on conversation in order to help improve students’ fluency and confidence when speaking in English as well as boosting their vocabulary.

This lesson opens with a short discussion about the article the students read before the class. Next, the students can give their opinion on the quote at the beginning of the lesson plan – what they think the quote means and if they agree with it. This is followed by an initial discussion on the topic including the benefits of travel, the student’s favourite holiday/vacation and the best places to spend a holiday/vacation in their country.

After this, students will learn some vocabulary connected with travel such as backpacking , off the beaten path/track and bucket list . This vocabulary has been chosen to boost the students’ knowledge of less common vocabulary that could be useful for preparing for English exams like IELTS or TOEFL. The vocabulary is accompanied by a cloze activity and a speaking activity to test the students’ comprehension of these words. This may also be a good time to explain the difference between travel, trip and journey , as these words are often confused by students

If the students didn’t watch the video before the class, they can watch it after the vocabulary section and answer the listening questions. Before checking the answers, ask the students to give a brief summary of the video and what they thought about the content.

Finally, there is a more in-depth conversation about travel. In this speaking activity, students will talk about issues such as the different types of holiday/vacation people like to go on, how much they like to plan for a trip and the attraction of solo travel.

After the class, students will write about their opinion of travel. This could be a short paragraph or a longer piece of writing depending on what level the student is at. The writing activity is designed to allow students to practise and improve their grammar with the feedback from their teacher. For students who intend to take an international English exam such as IELTS or TOEFL, there is an alternative essay question to practise their essay-writing skills.

How to use the travel ESL discussion questions

It is recommended that you download the travel ESL discussion questions in PDF format using one of the links above. The best way to encourage classroom interaction is to download and print the travel discussion questions in the 'pairs' or 'threes' PDF format and then divide the questions by cutting along the dotted lines. This allows students to take turns asking and answering the travel discussion questions in groups of two or three. Alternatively, you could use the 'cards' format to distribute the questions to any number of students to ask and share.

It is advisable to prepare students for using these discussion questions by first introducing them to the topic of travel in an interesting and engaging way. An anecdote, quiz question or a related image or video could all be used to achieve this. Depending on the level, it may also be necessary to pre-teach any challenging vocabulary related to travel contained in the discussion questions.

Introduction

The Travel Brochure ESL Lesson Plan aims to help students develop their language skills while learning about travel destinations. This lesson plan encourages students to create their own travel brochures, allowing them to practice vocabulary related to travel, descriptive language, and persuasive writing. It also provides an opportunity for students to engage in research about different countries and cities around the world. By immersing themselves in this interactive and creative activity, students can enhance their writing abilities, expand their vocabulary, and gain cultural knowledge about various places globally.

Vocabulary Building

Contextual usage.

1. We planned an amazing itinerary for our trip to Paris, including visits to the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum. 2. The Statue of Liberty is a famous landmark in New York City. 3. During my vacation in Japan, I bought several souvenirs including traditional kimonos and local artwork. 4. Finding suitable accommodation is crucial when traveling abroad; it’s important to book hotels in advance for peace of mind.

ESL Warm-up Activity

To kick-start the Travel Brochure ESL Lesson Plan, begin with an engaging discussion about dream destinations. Display images of famous landmarks and ask students to express their interest in visiting these places. Encourage them to share their desired experiences at these locations and use descriptive language to articulate their expectations. This activity will not only ignite students’ enthusiasm for the lesson but also familiarize them with travel-related vocabulary and expressions, setting a vibrant tone for the class.

Main ESL Lesson Activities

Vocabulary activity: destination charades.

Divide the class into small groups. Prepare slips of paper with names of various destinations around the world. One student from each group selects a slip and has to act out the destination without speaking, while others guess where it is. This activity allows students to practice travel-related vocabulary and encourages teamwork.

Roleplay: Travel Consultation Roleplay

Pair up students as travel agents and clients. The travel agents provide information about different destinations, including attractions, accommodation options, and activities. The clients ask questions and express their preferences for an upcoming trip. This interactive roleplay exercise enhances conversational skills and reinforces vocabulary related to travel.

Reading and Writing: Brochure Creation

In pairs, students select a destination they would like to promote in a brochure. They conduct research on the chosen location and create a persuasive travel brochure including descriptive language, attractive visuals, and compelling details about the destination to engage potential tourists.

Listening Comprehension: Destination Presentations

Assign each student or pair of students a different destination to research. They prepare short presentations highlighting key attractions, local culture, cuisine, and notable landmarks for their peers to listen to. This activity cultivates researching skills while improving listening comprehension as students absorb information about various destinations around the world from their classmates’ presentations.

ESL Homework Assignment

For homework, students are tasked with creating their own travel brochure for a destination of their choice. They should apply the skills and vocabulary learned in class to develop an enticing brochure, including detailed descriptions, appealing visuals, and persuasive language to attract potential travelers. This assignment reinforces the lesson content by providing students with an opportunity to further practice writing skills and utilize researched information about different destinations.

The Travel Brochure ESL Lesson Plan provided students with the opportunity to explore vocabulary related to travel, engage in descriptive and persuasive writing, and enhance their cultural knowledge. The activities incorporated various language elements in a dynamic and interactive manner.

Reflecting on this lesson, students have not only gained knowledge about different destinations but also honed their language skills. They have learned how to utilize descriptive language effectively, conduct research for informative purposes, and employ persuasive writing techniques. These are valuable skills that can be applied across various areas of language development and real-world communication.

Why this topic is great for ESL learning

Enhances language skills.

The Travel Brochure ESL Lesson Plan is an excellent topic for ESL learning as it integrates vocabulary building, writing practice, and verbal communication. It allows students to expand their language proficiency in a context that is relevant and engaging.

Cultural Knowledge

This topic provides a platform for students to gain cultural knowledge about different destinations around the world. It broadens their understanding of diverse cultures, traditions, and geographical locations, enriching their overall language learning experience.

Real-World Application

By creating travel brochures and engaging in travel-related activities, students are exposed to real-world applications of the language they are learning. This practical approach fosters a deeper connection with the language and its relevance in everyday situations.

David Ellis, author of Travel English for Busy Travelers

I caught up with David recently and asked him about the book:

What is the background to the book?

“As an English language teacher, I often ask myself how I can help my students become self-sufficient learners.  Many of my students in Japan are overly dependent on their teachers and feel they don’t know how to study independently.  I decided to write an eBook that my students and other students around the world could easily use for self-study.  Travel English for Busy Travelers is a beginner’s level eBook focusing on conversation practice, vocabulary development, and reading comprehension that’s full of self-study exercises with answer keys.

Why did you write your eBook?

“I have co-written several reading textbooks that have been used in Japanese universities. Recently, I have been teaching more and more English conversation classes, so I wanted to write a conversation textbook. However, I didn’t want to write a general conversation textbook. Out of all the classes I teach, I enjoy teaching travel English the most, so I decided to write an eBook that I could use in my travel English classes.

Screenshot 1

Why did you make the eBook free?

“First of all, I wanted the book to be free to download for my students to help them become more independent learners. Second, I hope to attract a larger readership.  I hope that more people will download a free eBook. I’ve done some writing for free magazines and university newspapers. I have enjoyed sharing my writing and curriculum with my students and friends this way. It’s interesting to get e-mail about the eBook from foreign countries. Usually, the sender of the e-mail is asking when the second level eBook will be released.

What are your publishing plans for the future?

“My teaching workload is getting busier, so it’s difficult to find time to finish the second book this year. I almost have the first half of the second book finished, so I will try to release a level 2A eBook by the end of this year. I hope to finish the second half of the next book sometime next year. I would also like to rerelease some chapters from my older reading textbooks that are going out of print. In Japan, most English textbooks have a rather short shelf life.

What are the most popular parts of the book?

“My favourite parts of the eBook are the reading passages on important topics for international travelers. Readers find the dialogues, the Appendix section on “Textese” (texting language), and YouTube videos to be especially helpful. Audio for the eBook is available on my YouTube channel: Travel English for Busy Travelers eBook – on YouTube

What other type of work do you do?

“I have proofread over ten books for vintage fashion writer and photographer Rin Tanaka. Rin has written some very successful vintage fashion books such as Harley Davidson: Book of Fashions, Schott: 100 Years of an American Original, XLarge: True OG Streetwear, and Wesco: Boots that Stand the Gaff.”
