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.
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

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.

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

There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs.

This is a print and go grammar lesson focusing on irregular past tense verb forms. It is for Pre-Intermediate adult ESL Students. It is an integrated lesson with a mix of speaking, grammar and writing.
It begins with some structured grammatical activities which could be done orally first and then written. The second part of the lesson is more open – ended, allowing students to integrate what they’ve learned.
The focus of the lesson is on
•Irregular past tense verb forms
•Negatives and questions in the past tense (which many students find challenging)
Most of the Activities are self explanatory and answers are provided for the structured activities. In most cases there are other possible answers.
The open-ended activities provide opportunities for extension for stronger students and flexibility in how it is delivered.
I would expect the lesson to take about 2 hours for an average class, with some of the written tasks set for homework.

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.

Use these task cards with your Adult ESL Beginner students to practice asking and answering questions using the present simple tense.
These cards are great to use with multi level classes (as beginners’ classes tend to be). They are easy to use because I’ve done all the hard work for you.
There are 2 sets of 16 cards - all with questions in the present simple tense. Set 1 has the complete question, Set 2 has gaps in the question requiring the student to create the question before asking it. In both Set 1 and Set 2 , questions 1 - 8 are easier than questions 9 -16 which include more difficult vocabulary and will be more difficult to answer.
Task cards are very versatile and an be used in a variety of ways in a classroom:
•To practice a grammar point/ target language that has been taught
•As a warm up activity
•As a review of a previous lesson
•As a diagnostic tool for you
•To change the pace during the lesson and get the students talking

This is a vocabulary lesson for Adult ESL Students who are Intermediate or Advanced level. It is suitable for use with IELTS students as well as general ESL classes. It is one of a series of lessons on Phrasal Verbs.

As well as useful in day to day life these idioms are also particularly relevant to the speaking part of the IELTS exam. 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. This lesson is not specific to IELTS and can be used with any Intermediate/Advanced class.
