GIVING DIRECTIONS: A COLLECTION OF RESOURCES FOR TEACHING HOW TO ASK AND GIVE DIRECTIONS

FOR ESL STUDENTS BY CHRIS GUNThis is not so much a lesson plan but is instead a collection of resources that can be used to teach how to give and ask for directions. In this section I've identified three common ways to give directions based on different situations. When I have some time, I'll add a fourth.

Part I: Street Name and Nearby Landmark

Perhaps, the easiest way to give directions is just to say what street it is on. Granted, it's not so easy in countries like Korea where there are no street names, but even there it can be modified to fit. For countries that don't use street names you can give an area and a landmark. Language Points It's on Pine Street.It's on 4th Avenue.It's on the corner of Fourth and Pine.It's next to the bank.It's across from the school.It's opposite the bookstore.(It's in Yeonsu Dongacross from the CGV theater.)

Part II: Subway or Bus DirectionAnother common way to give directions is to tell somebody what bus or subway to take, where to transfer, and where to get off.Language Points Take the Green Line to Central Station.Transfer to the Main Line.Get off at Market Station.Go out exit number 4Part III: Directions by Foot or Car A third common way to give directions is to tell somebody which streets to go down and where to turn.Language Points Go down Main Street to Broadway.Turn left on Broadway. It's on your right.

 

Part IV: Directions by Car Route Another way commonly used to give directions when driving is to state the route including highways, bridges, tunnels, and turn offs. Language Points Take coastal highway.Take the Westminister turn off.Go over (Take) the Alex Fraser Bridge.Go through (Take) the Massey Tunnel.

Other Language Points: Lessons on directions are also a good time to introduce embedded question (noun clauses) such as: Can you tell me where the library is?I don't know where the theater is.Can you tell me how to get to the airport? Some other important expressions include:You can't miss it.I'm lost.Which way is the hotel?Right in front of you.It's on the second floor.

EXPLORING THE CITY

NER JERSEYThe third reason for New Jersey being my favorite place is crabbing. If it’s crab season, we crab. We keep the blue crabs and the snow crabs, and we let the others go. Sometimes we catch crabs on hooks, and sometimes we lower crab cages into the bay. Then we pull them out later. One time my brother caught a crab so big that it got stuck in the crab cage! The crab finally got out, but it hurt one of its legs and broke the cage trying. Poor crab!

The most wonderful places in Rome are the famous Roman architecture and ecclesiastical buildings of the era of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Do not forget that Rome is the city with most churches worldwide. Being here to visit the Colosseum, where once gladiator fights were held, the Arch of Constantine, having a height of 25 meters, the Roman Forum, the heart of the Roman civilization, the Circus Maximus, the racetrack more largest in Italy, the Catacombs of San Callisto, used by the early Christian communities – Catholic.
