Description

opics & Skills Covered:

  • Key vocabulary: complaint, problem, apologize, solution, inconvenience, refund, upgrade.

  • Polite phrases for empathy & problem-solving:

    • “I’m sorry to hear that.”

    • “Let me check what I can do for you.”

    • “We’ll take care of that right away.”

    • “Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

  • Customer service skills: showing empathy, staying calm, offering solutions.

  • Mini dialogues: guest has a problem (no hot water, noisy room, missing reservation).

  • Roleplay practice: receptionist or staff member responds politely and finds solutions.

Methodology:

  1. Warm-up (5 min) – Discuss: “What makes good customer service?” Brainstorm polite vs. impolite responses.

  2. Vocabulary Introduction (5 min) – Introduce 6–8 service-related words and phrases.

  3. Guided Dialogue Practice (10 min) – Practice set scenarios:

    • Guest complains about noisy room.

    • Guest didn’t receive requested amenities.

    • Guest’s tour booking is missing.
      Teacher models polite response → student repeats and practices.

  4. Roleplay Activity (7 min) – Students take turns as guest/staff. Teacher gives problem cards (“No hot water,” “Wi-Fi not working,” etc.).

  5. Feedback & Wrap-up (3 min) – Correct pronunciation, highlight empathy phrases, recap with a quick “choose the best response” game.

Target Students:

  • Beginner–intermediate learners in hospitality/tourism.
