À LA GARE

After inquiring into the role of the TGV connecting locations around France, the students moved on to learn conversations for buying tickets at the train station. I introduce some of the key vocabulary relating to the train station and buying tickets, and then we have the opportunity to review times in both the 12 hour and 24 hour clock, with a discussion about the universal use of the 24 hour clock when traveling. There are good listening activities on time in the text book Expo 4 Foundation and Expo 4 Higher. Afterwards, the students work in pairs to practise the dialogue for buying tickets. Below is the PPT that I use to introduce the vocabulary, listening activities and dialogues.
