Is Tourism Too Much of a Good Thing?

A ready-to-teach B1+ Academic English lesson on linking words, built around tourism and overtourism.

Students decide whether tourism news is good or bad, read a short academic text about overtourism and discover how linking words add ideas (in addition, also), show contrast (however, whereas, while) and show a result (therefore, as a result, consequently). They learn where each linker goes and how to punctuate it, race in teams, debate in a city council role-play and write a balanced paragraph.
