How to use this lesson plan

This is a fantastic lesson plan to use with students of all ages and backgrounds. I’ve never met a student who doesn’t enjoy planning vacation destinations – even travel agents love this lesso. ! This is also one of my favorite lesson plans to use with new students because it is relevant to most people, regardless of age or profession. I’ll often use it to help me grasp their level of English if they’re apprehensive about taking a placement test. It’s also a fun activity to use in a corporate classroom setting as Business English students often need a relaxed day in class.
