ESL EFL ADVANCED BEGINNER ENGLISH INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH CONJUNCTIONS LIST
This resource consists of two non-editable files in a zipped format and is offered freely, but please read the Terms of Use carefully, as it is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed in any way beyond your own classroom.
An ideal reference resource for students focusing on high-frequency common English conjunctions and connectives, really giving English language students a flying start with their core target vocabulary, and enabling them to build an enriched range of language from the very beginning of their learning. I’ve found that the lists are a great learning support resource, and they’re really popular with students too. They work well when students keep them carefully in learning files or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class.
This list is a collection of one hundred common English conjunctions and connectives that students will meet in the advanced beginner into advanced intermediate stages of English learning programmes - it’s an important step in learning is to ensure that students quickly develop a useful vocabulary bank, are able to recognize English conjunctions and connectives, and are confident with the meaning of those words in their first and / or home language, so that they can produce more complex and descriptive language and more complex sentences as soon as possible. Students shouldn’t take on the task of learning 100 conjunctions and connectives all at once though - this is more of a longer-term reference resource that students can use to audit their developing English vocabulary and use practically and creatively as they form more complex sentences. It is definitely the case that frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocab into longer-term memory.
I encourage my ESL / EFL learners to create accompanying lists corresponding to their first / home languages. There are two backgrounds to choose from - England flag (which looks good as part of a vocabulary display), and black wave - students tell me that this makes vocab lists more visually appealing, which is really useful when they’ve got a lot of vocab to work through and learn.

ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? BUNDLE
**ESL EFL ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES ACTIVITIES GAMES 3 GAMES @ £1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** **Set 1** focuses on ***fruits in English***; **Set 2** on ***vegetables in English*** and **Set 3** on a ***combination of fruits and vegetables in English***, ideal for ***advanced beginner English*** and ***intermediate English*** students. ***I have... Who has... ?*** is a lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing target vocabulary in ***English***. The game has a ***multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading***, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s ***perfect for pronunciation practice*** too. I point out ***particular phonemes and sounds, such as the soft c in lettuce compared to the hard c in carrot, and the addition of n to a when preceding a noun starting with a vowel, such as an aubergine or an orange*** for example. The aim of the game is to create an ***English*** sentence chain as quickly as possible, starting with the ***first card***, and ending with the final card, the ***last card***. The game works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for young beginner learners of English, but it definitely also works well with older and adult learners too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word, and ***starting to link spelling with sound***. Try to print in colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning. **There are 29 fruits featured across the 3 games**: *green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; gooseberries; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon*. **and 28 vegetables**: *artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetc*orn; tomato; zucchini All the fruits and vegetables may not be in my longer-term learning plan, but the learning objective moves beyond simply learning individual units of vocab - the images help students ***infer meaning from context***, supported by the visual prompts and clues - this in turn supports them in developing their ***English language skills*** in the longer and more complex sentences. There is***implicit input on grammatical concepts*** such as the***lack of adjectival agreement and gender***, and ***position of adjectives***, which are often entirely new concepts for many ESL/EFL learners. Nouns feature ***definite, indefinite and partitive articles*** too. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more! The ***question card template*** provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing English language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class - this is a really popular activity with my students. Download, print out, laminate, cut out & shuffle the cards. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years. Distribute the cards, one or two per student, depending on how many students you have in your group. I often play too - students really do enjoy it when I join in, and they seem to work that little harder on their ***concentration, reading out loud and pronunciation***. Students walk around the room, talking to each other in their ***best English accent***, sharing the information on their cards, until they have arranged the cards in the correct order. The game works best played against a timer, regularly over a longer-term series of lessons - students genuinely enjoy seeing if they can beat their own time record. ***Have a browse in my store for more English Language active learning activities, and a wide range of other English Language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles, resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *All products consist of non-editable files in zipped formats.

ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE CARDS BUNDLE #1
**ESL EFL ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE 2 SETS OF 100 CARDS @ £2.00 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** These two hundred ***English question and answer prompts cards*** are a great way of getting your students ***speaking in English*** without feeling ‘on the spot’, or worried about not getting their ***pronunciation and accent*** right in front of the whole class. The Q&A prompt cards offer ***structured talk opportunities***, and focus on ***vocabulary, structures and general knowledge*** that is ideal for ***advanced beginner English*** into ***intermediate English*** students. My students create their own questions and answers, using the prompts as ***writing frames***, as they begin to feel more confident about their language skills, using the ***Notes and Next Steps*** pages in the reference book to jot down their ideas. We also use the pages to note how they think their skills are developing, and how well they are beginning to understand fully both the range of ***vocabulary and grammatical concepts***. We discuss as a whole-group to what extent they feel able to ***produce language spontaneously and creatively***, and with little or no support or hesitation. Equally importantly, encourage students to note what steps they might reasonably take to improve in the areas that they don’t feel quite as confident about. The sets feature ***a range of differentiated questions and answers***, addressing various aspects of ***English***, such as ***forming questions***, the use of ***various present and past tenses, word order*** and so on. This is really important for language learners, who often conflate the grammar and structures of their first language with that of the new language they are learning. There's definitely a ***cultural and general information flavou***r to many of the questions in ***Set 2***, such as ***What is the London Eye?*** and ***How many countries are there in the United Kingdom?*** The reference books are in portrait 8.5 x 11 (A4) format, and has all the question and answer prompts written in full. My students find this really useful as a longer-term learning support resource, and we also use it for ***whole-group pronunciation, reading out loud, listening and mini-translation activities***. Students don’t have to know every single word or structure in order to understand - they will ***develop and enhance their vocabulary and knowledge of English*** by working meanings out. Having a good bilingual dictionary to hand is really useful too. ***Talk Time*** works best when students have regular and frequent opportunities to work with the cards over a longer-term series of lessons, or across a school year. I tend to have a bank of resources for students to select during free-choice learning, and they often choose these - they really are a successful alternative to more teacher-led learning, enabling students to develop more independence in their learning. The cards are really versatile: for example, the Q & A templates give students a chance to ***apply their knowledge practically and creatively***, as they formulate questions and answers for each other. ***Try this freebie to assess whether this kind of activity would work well for your students:*** **ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE CARDS FREEBIE** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-speaking-practice-cards-freebie-12779265](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more English Language Learning independent learning activities, and a wide range of other English teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to have a look at.*** *All files are non-editable in a zipped format.
