What learners practise
Polite questions and requests, directions, times and airport vocabulary such as boarding pass, aisle seat and baggage reclaim.
How to teach the lesson
Play the check-in conversation twice. Read the gate-change and baggage-reclaim dialogues in pairs. Cut out the role cards on page 4. One learner has the route timings and the other has the departures board. Ask pairs to report the correct gate and arrival time before they compare plans.
Pages 1–3 contain the lead-in, listening, dialogues and speaking tasks. Page 4 has the private role cards, page 5 has the homework gap-fill and page 6 has teacher notes, the audio transcript and answer keys.
