Description
Hablar de planes is a complete A1 Spanish lesson designed around discussing future plans, intentions and professional objectives in a business context.
Students begin with a substantial reading about a company planning to expand into new international markets. The text introduces practical business vocabulary through plans involving market analysis, international travel, meetings with potential commercial partners, local distributors, sales strategies and international trade fairs.
The principal grammar focus is the futuro perifrástico: ir + a + infinitivo. Students learn how the structure is formed and how it is used to express plans and intentions. The resource also explains the position of direct object, indirect object and reflexive pronouns with this construction, using practical examples such as voy a decirle / le voy a decir, voy a estudiarla / la voy a estudiar and voy a levantarme / me voy a levantar.
Reading comprehension questions encourage students to work with the language in context, focusing on the company’s expansion strategy, international markets, business travel, commercial partnerships, internal communication and sales objectives.
The second part of the lesson develops oral communication through Práctica dual. Students discuss and compare their plans for a business trip, including destination, travel arrangements, accommodation, colleagues, transport, business meetings, meals and other professional commitments.
A further pair activity focuses on professional goals for the coming months. Students discuss objectives such as expanding a client portfolio, improving leadership and negotiation skills, joining professional networks, attending industry conferences, implementing business strategies, using technology more effectively and taking further Spanish classes.
The resource finishes with answers to the reading comprehension activity, making it suitable for classroom teaching as well as revision and independent practice.
