ESL Indoor Tours
ESL Guided Tours are structured to complement any language instruction
programme. The tour guides will take the class in groups of approximately
10 people to each of the 5 greenhouses, stopping at specific focal points
to highlight specific words. Emphasis is on making a connection between
the spoken word and the visual cues found in the greenhouse. Guides use
flash cards to underscore difficult words and concepts. On confirmation
of a tour, teachers can download a vocabulary package below. This information
can be used in class to prepare students for their tour.
