Student-Centred Back to School Bundle for Beginner Adult ESL Students

I use these lessons with a mixed ability beginner adult ESL class. It is an integrated reading, writing, speaking and listening lesson on the topic of goals, using the present simple tense.

The lessons can be used in several ways:

•with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher

•at the beginning of the year/course which will also help you learn more about your students

•as a review lesson for ongoing students using the extension activities

There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs. I have provided alternatives for some of the activities and suggested ways to adapt for others.

As in all my lessons, the language is presented in a context that is relevant to adult students with language that they will be able to use in their everyday lives. In these lessons the context is long term and short term goals, learning needs and getting to know you activities.

For more detailed inclusions please refer to the individual products

The lessons will work as a Back to School activity or any other time. It will help you find out more about your students and their needs and expectations.
