This fun and thought-provoking ESL lesson plan for A2, B1–B2, and C1–C2 learners dives into the issue of overtourism in an engaging, level-appropriate way. It includes everything from vocabulary matching and reading gap-fills to true/false comprehension checks and discussion questions.
Your learners will explore:

Bonus? The lesson plan includes a photo-based speaking task with real Unsplash images to practice vocabulary in a natural, fun way.
