Main Aims By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to develop a better understanding of future forms.

Personal Aims In this lesson, I will be working on using clear ICQs and clarity of task setting.

Class Profile MaterialsA group of 10-12 pre-intermediate, multi-lingual, young adults comprising of South Asian & Arab nationalities who work in various departments of a renowned hotel chain & some from a facility management company. With an overall pre-intermediate level, there is some variation in the understanding level. Some SS are the talkative ones, being more confident while some lack a bit of confidence. Almost all of them have studied English at school & are hoping to improve their job prospects by developing their language skills more.
