A PPT lesson guiding students through what a relative clause is, creating relative clauses, and how to use them to good effect in creative writing.

An engaging PPT designed to cover 6 x 1 hour lessons with a group of international students being taught subject support to assist them with their Business skills. Notes and answers have been added to the slides to help T where necessary. The lessons include a variety of speaking, writing, and grammar tasks using a variety of independent, pair and group work. The lessons are designed to get students understanding critical thining and how to think critically about different things and develop their problem solving skills teaching them to think ‘outside the box’. The grammar focus for these lessons is on the first conditional. There is a final project for the students to apply their learning.

A 24-page workbook created for independent study for EAL young learners. Different activities for all levels Pre-A1, suiting Starters, Movers and Flyers. Students can complete tasks for homework, or work on individual targets during class to help develop indpendent study skills. Really helpful with differentiation if you have a standout weaker student who needs extra practice, or stronger students who can work through tasks as early finishers. Tasks range from letter to word to sentence level including some phonics, grammar, and punctuation. Tasks are designed to engage also including colouring, wordsearch and dot to dot activities.

PPT - A lesson designed for an interactive communicative lesson with EAL learners teaching them to give their opinion. No printing required, all that would be helpful is if the students had paper and pen for recording some phrases. Designed for low level Teen learners. Could be good preparation for the Cambridge KEY (KET) or PRELIMINARY (PET) Speaking tests. Activity Sheet - To help play a fun game in the style of Would I Like To You/Unpopular Opinions. Ss write their own opinion and then T either gives them back the real opinion or the fake opinion and they have to try and convince the others in the class that they are telling the truth.

This was 6 hours work for my CLIL class of international students. An introduction to the concept of formal and informal language as well as activities for identifying and using the correct register.

A gapfill for the Monkey Puzzle Song by Julia Donaldson on YouTube. The missing words are available in a box with a picture prompt for differentiated support. There is also a worksheet for Makaton signs for animals from the story. This took my class a full hour. We listened to the song to enjoy it. Then we listened twice to do the gapfill. Then we read through the song lyrics in feedback to check our answers. Then we sang the song two times - trying with actions the second time! Then we discussed what Makaton was and made the signs and guessed which animals from the story they could be. Then the students drew their own pictures of the animals next to the signs.

Questions to test young learners reading comprehension and use of English. Encouraging literacy as students complete sentences, give their opinions, and re-write the story in their own words. Ss then identify adjectives and complete a comparatives/superlatives table.

A checklist of important features in narrative/story writing to guide students through self reflection at the end of a piece of writing. Can also be used to help peer review a partner’s story. The checklist includes some tick boxes for checking for important features and then an open ended sentence starter at the end for the student to reflect on what they did well and how they could improve next time. Ideal for an English or EFL classroom teaching Literature/Creative Writing skills and wanting to encourage a student centred approach to feedback.
