The "Understanding airport and booking vocabulary" strategy emphasizes familiarizing oneself with the terminology used in airports and during the booking process. It suggests creating a list of essential terms, defining them in simple language, and using resources like online dictionaries or language learning apps. For example, understanding what a boarding pass is helps in practical scenarios like check-in.
Another focus is identifying key locations within an airport. This involves researching airport layouts and identifying important areas such as terminals and lounges. Practical activities like labeling maps or visiting airports enhance learning.
The strategy also covers recognizing the roles of airport personnel. It involves listing different roles, like flight attendants and ground crew, and researching their responsibilities. Watching interviews or creating games to match roles with descriptions can further improve understanding.
