Lesson Overview

Let’s hit the road! In this lesson, students will discuss traveling to different countries. This lesson features audio of a traveler and her experience visiting new places. Students will also learn and practice superlatives and vocabulary relating to this topic. This lesson includes plenty of engaging discussion activities and worksheets that have been developed for adult and teenage learners.

Lesson Objectives



  • Grammar: Students will learn and practice using superlatives in English. They'll understand how to form and use superlative adjectives and adverbs to compare three or more things, focusing on both short and long adjectives.




  • Listening: Through an audio clip about a traveler's experiences in different countries, students will improve their listening comprehension skills. They will focus on identifying specific information about countries and understanding the use of superlatives in spoken English.




  • Speaking: Students will engage in discussions about their favorite countries and places they have visited or wish to visit. They will practice using superlatives in speech, sharing personal experiences and opinions about various travel destinations.




  • Vocabulary: The lesson introduces vocabulary related to travel and countries, such as "landmarks" (significant or historical sites), "transportation" (means of travel, like buses, trains, planes), and cultural terms like "cuisine" (types of food specific to a region) and "etiquette" (customs and behaviors). Students will learn to use these words in context, discussing their travel experiences and plans. For instance, they might talk about famous landmarks they want to visit, or different transportation methods they have used while traveling.




  • Homework: The homework consists of various tasks reinforcing the lesson's grammar and vocabulary. Students will identify incorrect statements about countries, choose correct options, fill in blanks with superlatives, correct sentences, and express their own ideas using the learned vocabulary and grammatical structures.
