About this lesson
This ready-to-use C2-level ESL lesson plan on overtourism helps advanced English learners explore the impact of mass tourism, social media's influence on travel expectations, and the tension between economic benefits and community well-being. Through image-based discussion prompts, pre-watching quotes that introduce key tourism problems, an authentic video with comprehension and true, false, or not mentioned questions, cause-and-effect analysis, critical discussion on responsible travel, and vocabulary matching and gap-fill exercises on advanced terms such as gentrification, commodification, and mitigation, it's ideal for teachers aiming to develop students' analytical skills, sophisticated vocabulary, and nuanced debate at the advanced level.
