English for Air Travel.
Despite criticism from environmentalists, air travel continues to grow. In fact, 2024 looks like being a record year for global airlines.
Many of you, and many of your students, will probably take 4 or 5 return flights per year, perhaps many more. That’s a lot of visits to the airport!
English is the language of air travel. To navigate your way through a modern international airport, a minimum of English can come in very handy!
In these new classroom materials we present essential vocabulary for airports and air travel.
The sheets are A4-sized PDFs which you are welcome to download free-of-charge. While the materials have been optimised for digital media they also print out nice and clearly.
