Evaluation of the activity 
During the activity, students motly preferred short and simple sentences to be able to express 
themselves as quickly as possible which led to swift conversation. Since the activity was a 
groupwork, some students relied on others and tried to avoid active language production. After 
they had been encouraged to use at least short utterances to help their colleagues, they started 
to be involved in the conversations more than before. Based on the observation, the aim to

improve students‘ fluency had been met, because students spoke English all the time and no 
major interruptions could be heard.
Students seemed to be highly motivated during the activity and the activity offered a great 
opportunity to improve their self-confidence. Every time the word was guessed correctly, 
students‘ confidence raised. Another proof for this claim was the fact, that even weaker students 
shared their contributions with the others and joined the discussion. However, some of them 
had to be encouraged at first. 
It can be said, that at the end of the activity, students had practised vocabulary related to hotel 
facilities and equipment and should be able to talk about it in more detail. 
Overall atmosphere throughout the activity was good, students seemed to feel comfortable in 
their roles and the competitive character of the exercise might have been one of the factors that 
led to higher students‘ motivation to actively participate in the lesson and use foreign language.
