Teacher’s Overview
Prepositions of Location is a highly visual and interactive lesson designed to help A1–A2 learners describe where people, places, and objects are located. Rather than focusing on memorising grammar rules, students learn through observation, discovery, speaking, and map-based activities.
The lesson centres around a detailed town map, allowing students to practise common prepositions such as in, on, under, behind, between, next to, opposite, near, above, and below in meaningful contexts.
Students develop confidence asking and answering location questions, describing places, and giving simple directions. The lesson also encourages pair work, problem-solving, and real communication through information-gap and detective-style activities.
