Hey Mike
I taught hotel staff for about 6 months. I introduced a lot of new vocabulary that they might come across when dealing with foreigners. Then I would have them do many role plays in pairs and in groups. I found that role plays were very useful. There is also a lot of good info and many worksheets here on eslprintables that you could bring to your classes. I also found that their English level really varied depending on their job title.
Good luck... |

Yo Fletsch,
Great advice! I agree, focus on things that will help them with their work and providing a better service to hotel guests. Here are two great lesson plans which are just for Hotel English:
Hope this helps,

There are lots of Vocabulary exercises et dialogues of all kinds. If you are interested I could scan the content page and one or two other pages, so you can see if you are interested. Contact me if you want to know more. |

I used to teach hotel staff and I �d prepare some vocabulary related to each topic. For example, things in the bathroom: shaver, shampoo, shower cap, etc. Then I �d make them learn the vocabulary by using games, chants, role plays and through TPR. After consolidating the vocabulary, I �d start with dialogues using the words. For ex. Excuse me, I need some shampoo. Could you bring me another pillow, please? Also, you can ask your students what they need on their daily basis. Anyway, class should be very dynamic and fun.

I �m exactly in the same situation than you were!!
Hi S.Lefevre, I was wondering if you wouldn �t mind sending me 1 or 2 scanned pages of that book so I can make my mind up on buying it or not.
Thanks for the help guys, you �re great
