Idiomatic language and especially phrasal verbs are something that high level intermediate or advanced learners find challenging to understand or use. In some exams such as IELTS students need some familiarity with phrasal verbs to get a high score. I created this resource to use with one to one online IELTS students but it’s adaptable to any situation.
Resource includes:
A list of 21 phrasal verbs using TAKE and their meaning
Activity 1 - a gap fill activity to insert the missing phrasal verb
Activity 2 - ideas for a role play activity using the phrasal verbs
Teacher’s notes with suggestions for use
Answer key to Activity 1
Suggestions for use included. It can be used in a number of ways according to the needs of your students. You might want to do it as a whole class, group work, one to one.
This is one in a series of lessons - check out the other verbs in my store.
I use this lesson with a mixed ability beginner Adult ESL Class. It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of life experiences and the use of the present perfect tense.
The Present Perfect tense is not usually included in Beginner’s courses because it is quite complex. But even at Beginner level adult students will be asked questions about their life experiences especially - How long have you…………. ?
This lesson aims to provide students with the functional language to answer (and ask) questions about their life experiences.
The lesson is based on a text that demonstrates the use of the present perfect tense to describe life experiences
It covers a lot of elementary language and language skills:
•Reading and understanding simple texts.
•Present perfect tense – focusing especially on 3rd person forms
•Question forms – How long have you…?
•Vocabulary of life experiences
•Speaking/Listening practice –asking and answering questions
•Writing simple sentences
Guided paragraph writing
Like all my resources, this lesson is designed specifically for adults. It incorporates language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners
This resource may include some Australian/UK language and prints to A4 paper

This lesson contains 5 fun activities that are suitable for beginner or elementary Adult ESL students. Most of the activities involve speaking and listening. If students are able, most of the activities can be followed with a short writing activity and/or oral feedback to the class.
I have used all these activities at some time with adult ESL students. They work for students who are migrants, refugees or international students.
They are great for starting a new year or term because
1.They help students to get to know each other
2.They help you to get the know the students and also assess their level of English
These activities also work at other times of the year too and are a great way to get students talking. So if you don’t use them all you can keep them for later.
Bonus included - suggestions for 3 other no prep get to know you activities.
Please be aware- spelling is UK/Australia and prints to A4 paper.

ESL Students find Idioms challenging. This lesson teaches 16 idioms related to feelings. As well as useful in day to day life these idioms are also particularly relevant to the speaking part of the IELTS exam.
As I know teachers are super busy and may not have time for any prep, this lesson has been designed so it can be used in 3 ways:
1.No prep print and go worksheets for in class or homework
A card matching activity requiring preparation – cutting up cards. laminating etc. Once done it can used again (and again) You will need 1 set of the blue cards (16 cards) and 1 set of the black cards (16 cards) for each pair of students.
Used in class, this activity will generate discussion and probably laughter as they try to work out the meaning of some of these idioms. This is the best way to teach this lesson if you have the time to set it up.
Mix and match– part in class with the writing activity fo homework. The writing activity can also be done orally in class.
I use this lesson with a mixed ability beginner Adult ESL Class. It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of work and routines. It is my 2nd lesson on routines/present simple tense and Routines 2 is quite a bit more difficult than the original Routines which is more suited to total beginners.
The lesson is based on a text about the work routines of an aged care worker and involves lots of relevant vocabulary as well as practice of the present simple tense.
It covers a lot of elementary language and language skills:
•Reading and understanding simple text topics.
•Present simple tense – focusing especially on 3rd person forms
•Question forms – Yes/No and WH questions
•Vocabulary of work routines
•Speaking practice –asking and answering questions
•Writing simple sentences
There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs. It may take 1 lesson or could take several lessons depending on your learners and how you present the material.
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 this lesson the context is work.
This is a flexible lesson that can be used in a variety of ways:
•with a whole class,
• a small group or
• one to one
And for several different levels for different purposes
•with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher
•as an introduction to the present simple tense
•as diagnostic tool or
•as a review lesson tor ongoing students
