To the teacher
Future Transitions to Work: Food Services can be used in conjunction with Future to expand the general
language introduced in the series to the specific needs of food services professionals. This supplement
will help learners comprehend spoken and written English related to food services and will afford
learners practice in communicating in a food services setting. It will also help learners understand the
expectations of the food services workplace.
Format
Each unit is two pages, with the Word bank and Conversations appearing on the first page, and Authentic
practice on the second.
1. Word bank
Essential vocabulary for the unit is presented.
2. Conversations
Model conversations are contextualized within the food services setting.
3. Authentic practice
Real-world examples allow learners to practice communication skills in a food services context.
All examples involve reading and understanding authentic texts from the workplace and
performing purposeful tasks based on them. In some units, learners create and rehearse
conversations; in other units, they practice writing.
