Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify and correctly spell vocabulary words for common city locations from a picture prompt.

  • Build receptive and productive vocabulary for describing places in a city or town.

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the 36 target words as a class before assigning the worksheets, since the picture prompts alone may not clarify unfamiliar buildings for beginner ESL students.

  • Assign the four worksheets across separate lessons (everyday places, civic/transit, recreational, specialty shops) rather than all at once, since each groups a distinct vocabulary theme.

  • Follow up with a speaking activity where students describe what happens at each labelled location.

Skills covered

  • Picture-to-word vocabulary labelling — students view an image of a city location and write its correct English name.

  • City-vocabulary categorisation — students build vocabulary across four thematic groups: everyday places, civic/transit, recreational/commercial, and specialty shops.
