Based on the core themes of Speakout Elementary Unit 1 (Greetings, Personal Information, and Travel), here are several feature ideas to enhance your lesson: 1. The "Lost Property" Roleplay
Since Unit 1 explores items found in lost property (like bags, keys, or passports), you can create an interactive roleplay based on the London Lost Property Office. Feature: A "Lost & Found" matching game.
Activity: One student describes an object they "lost" (e.g., "It's a small, black bag with a camera and a diary"), while another acts as the clerk looking through a set of pictures or cards. 2. "Who Am I?" Podcast Challenge
Inspired by the BBC video podcasts where diverse people introduce themselves and their home countries, students can create their own "Mini-Vlog." Feature: A "Self-Introduction Station."
Activity: Use prompts from the audio script to have students record themselves answering: What's your name and where are you from? What do you like (or dislike) about your city?
Goal: Focus on using the verb "to be" correctly for personal details and nationalities. 3. Travel Light Checklist
Leveraging section 1.2: Travel Light, students can practice identifying everyday objects and using demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those). Feature: A "Virtual Suitcase" interactive board.
Activity: Present a list of items (e.g., toothbrush, sunglasses, laptop). Students must listen to a "packing list" audio and move the correct items into a "carry-on" bag, ensuring liquids are under 100ml as mentioned in the unit's practical tips. 4. The "International Café" Menu
Unit 1 also touches on food and prices from different countries (Spanish, Indian, Japanese, Italian). Feature: A "How Much is It?" ordering simulation.
Activity: Using the unit's audio scripts, students practice ordering a snack and a drink (e.g., a sandwich and apple juice). They must calculate the total price in euros and handle a scenario where they don't have enough money, just like the textbook example. 5. Check-In Simulation Practice functional language for a hotel reception.

Speakout Elementary Audio Unit 1: Track-by-Track Breakdown
Most versions of the Speakout Elementary Student’s Book come with a CD or access to a digital audio download. Unit 1 typically contains 5 to 7 distinct audio tracks. Let’s simulate a typical listening experience.
Track 1.5: Listening Comprehension – Real BBC Interviews
This is where Speakout differentiates itself from other textbooks. The final audio track of Unit 1 features authentic, unscripted interviews from the BBC archives. You will hear real people (not actors) answering simple questions:
- “What’s your name?”
- “Where are you from?”
- “What do you do?”
Learning Focus: Coping with real accents. Unlike the clear, slow speech of earlier tracks, this one includes hesitations, filler words (“um,” “uh”), and varying speeds. This prepares you for the real world.
Unit 1 Audio Overview
The audio for Unit 1 is divided into four main listening exercises, typically found in the Student Book and Workbook.
| Track/Section | Topic | Audio Type | Key Vocabulary | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1.1 | Greetings & Introductions | Conversations | Hello, Hi, I'm..., This is..., Nice to meet you | | 1.2 | Classroom Language | Instructions & Requests | Listen, Repeat, Work in pairs, Open your book | | 1.3 | Countries & Nationalities | Short dialogues | Where are you from? I'm from... (Brazil/Brazilian) | | 1.4 | Numbers & Personal Info | Phone numbers / Ages | What's your phone number? How old are you? |
Track 1.1: Greetings and Introductions
Goal: Understand and respond to basic introductions.
What you will hear: Three short conversations (e.g., in a class, at work, or at a party).
- Conversation 1: A: "Hello, I'm Maria." B: "Hi Maria. I'm David."
- Conversation 2: A: "Paula, this is my friend, Tom." B: "Nice to meet you, Tom."
- Conversation 3: A: "Good morning. Are you Mr. Jones?" B: "Yes, I am. Please call me Steve."
Listening Task (Try this while listening):
- ✅ Tick (✓) the greeting you hear: Hello / Hi / Good morning
- ✅ Circle the correct word: "Nice to meet / see you."
- ✅ Write the two names you hear in each conversation.
Self-Study Tip: Pause after each line and repeat the sentences aloud. Copy the speaker’s intonation.
