Traveller: Advance From Routine Requests to Disruption Handling
A B1 traveller independently handles routine hotel and transport requests and is ready for an unexpected disruption.
This is a constructed teaching example, not a report of a real student or a claimed learning outcome.
Student context
A B1 adult learner is preparing for independent business travel. Routine check-in, directions, and simple requests are already secure.
Evidence
- The learner completed two routine travel role-plays without prompts.
- Requests were polite, intelligible, and adapted to different contexts.
- No recurring target error interfered with the outcome.
Decision
Advance
Routine travel communication is independently usable, so the next lesson should introduce a realistic disruption with negotiation and clarification.
Lesson objective
By the end of the lesson, the learner will explain a missed connection, ask for two alternatives, and confirm the final arrangement.
Activity sequence
- 1Extract the essential facts from a missed-connection scenario.
- 2Practice asking for alternatives and checking conditions.
- 3Handle a role-play in which the first proposed solution is unsuitable.
- 4Confirm the final route, time, and cost in the learner's own words.
Evidence to collect next
- Whether the learner explains the problem concisely.
- Whether at least two alternatives are requested or compared.
- Whether the final confirmation catches a deliberately introduced misunderstanding.
