  • Visual Aid: Flashcards with pictures of popular foods (pizza, sushi, pasta, etc.)

Teaching Tip: Use pictures to prompt discussion and introduce new vocabulary naturally.

3. Role-Play (10 minutes) – Interactive Practice

Activity: Restaurant Role-Play
Pair Work: Teacher acts as a waiter, student plays the customer. Then switch roles.

  3. The tutor asks follow-up questions (e.g., "Would you like fries with that?") to encourage natural responses.
  4. The tutor provides feedback on fluency and pronunciation.

 

Teaching Tip: Use props or digital images of a menu to make the role-play realistic.

4. Fun Game (3 minutes) – Challenge Time

  • Show a picture of a meal. Students must describe it in full sentences (e.g., "This is spaghetti. It has tomato sauce and cheese.").
  • For more challenge, students must use ordering phrases to "order" that dish.

 

Teaching Tip: Reward correct answers with positive reinforcement.

5. Wrap-Up & Review (2 minutes) – Recap & Feedback

  • Review key phrases.
  • Ask: "What was the most useful phrase you learned today?"
