hi, everyone
tomorrow i am going to start to give lessons to a group of students and the focus of the lessons will be Survival English as the students are going abroad in a month. this will be the first time that i am going to experience something like this and i really do not know how to do the first lesson, what should i do ?? with which topics should I start ?? By the way, the students are adults and they are going abroad as a part of European Union projects.
i am looking forward to your suggestions, thank you :)) |

Hi
depends on their level
beginners:
give and ask for personal details:
name, address, tel number, nationality, jobs
intermediate:
shopping, money, prices, travel on public transport
food/restaurants
do short role plays
you will find stuff on this site and books on englishtips.org |

You could also ask them to make a list of originally English words that appear in their language, names of products, brands, shops etc. and let them translate what they mean. They could also guess which English words they would expect to find in public places in an English speaking country.
