A grammar resource for Intermediate Level Adult ESL students. It begins with a review powerpoint and then 4 Activities of increasing difficulty. There are 2 writing tasks a grammar activity and a speaking/listening group activity.The final activity is open ended and quite challenging but a good introduction to the language required for IELTS Writing Task 1 (or other academic writing) I am aware that not all teachers have access to photocopying facilities or the ability to print off heaps of copies. For this reason, I try to keep the printed pages as dense as possible to reduce the number of printed pages. It is also better for the environment! I have planned this so that slides 2 – 4 (or 5) are used as a PowerPoint review with the whole class – hence the coloured background. The rest (on white background) can be printed (or not) as required.

I use this lesson with a mixed ability Beginners Adult Migrant ESL class. It is an introduction to the Past Continuous/Past Progressive Tense in a context that is relevant to adult students with language that they will be able to use in their everyday lives. It is not for complete beginners as some prior knowledge is required. This lesson assumes some knowledge of the past simple tense and follows on from another resource I have written ‘Introduction to Past Tense’. It’s easy to use, just ** Print and GO**. I’ve even included answers for some of the activities to make it easier for you to check the answers with the whole class, using Power Point. The language level of this lesson is higher than some of my other Beginner lessons, so depending on your class you may need to scaffold, go through with the class first or pair able/less able students. The lesson covers a lot of relevant elementary language: · Reading and understanding simple text about familiar topics. · Past Continuous tense – form and use · Question forms using past continuous tense · Everyday vocabulary · Speaking practice – asking and answering questions · Writing simple sentences · An Introduction to writing complex sentences using because This lesson contains: · A text with oral comprehension questions · A vocabulary activity · Past continuous/progressive grammar focus · A grammar activity · A cloze activity · 2 pair work speaking and listening activities · An introduction to because to join 2 sentences · 2 Writing Activities This lesson prints to A4 paper and may have some UK/Australian spelling.

This lesson is designed for Beginner Adult ESL learners with a limited vocabulary. The language used is supported by pictures which will make it more accessible to beginners.

This integrated reading and speaking resource is based on the topic of goal setting. It is designed for Intermediate level Adult ESL/EAL students. It can be used during back-to-school time, at the start of a new course, at new year. There is enough material for at least 3 lessons and as well as an in-depth look into goals, there is also material on overcoming, obstacles, dealing with distractions and time management. Goal setting is an important and popular topic for Adult ESL classes. Most adult ESL students will come to class with a goal which is often something long term and not very specific such as “improve my English”, “Get a job” or “go to university” . But apart from attending a class they haven’t really thought about how they will get there. This resource will help them break down their long-term goals into smaller more achievable goals that will help to keep them motivated. Because adult ESL students often have other commitments such as part time work, or family responsibilities they face a lot of obstacles. This resource addresses those challenges to ensure the students success. Topic related vocabulary, developing reading skills and lots of speaking/discussion opportunities are embedded in these lessons. In this resource you will find 11 varied Activities that include: 3 x reading texts and comprehension activities. 4 x Vocabulary Activities 5 x graphic organisers Teachers’ notes Answer keys For more details of what’s included refer to the thumbnail for a list of contents. 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. I put a lot of effort into creating and checking my resources. If you happen see an error/typo etc please let me know so that I can correct it.

This lesson is designed for Adult ESL Students at high beginner or pre intermediate levels. It will work well with a mixed ability/level class and there are opportunities for differentiation. It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of Global Warming and an introduction to Conditionals (zero form). It includes Reading, Writing ,Listening and Speaking activities. Conditionals not usually included in Beginner’s courses because it is quite complex. This lesson will be challenging for most Beginners as it also includes some complex vocabulary There is a deliberate repetition of sentences in the activities to keep this simpler for beginners . I have also kept the vocabulary level simple and relevant to beginner Adult ESL students. Most of the activities are quite structured, self explanatory and build on each other so they are best done in order. The activities could be done orally in pairs first, if that works for your students. You can structure the activities as much or as little as your students need. A detailed lesson plan and answers are provided This lesson aims to provide students with the functional language to talk about global warming and express something which is always true if the condition in the sentence is met. The lesson is based on a dialogue that introduces some vocabulary about global warming demonstrates the use of the zero conditonal form It covers a lot of other elementary language and language skills: Reading and understanding simple texts. Zero conditional – for general truths Vocabulary of global warming and general life situations. Completing a cloze activity Sentence matching and sentence completion. Question forms – What do you do if…? Speaking/Listening practice – asking and answering questions. Writing simple sentences 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. If you want to expand on this lesson, I do have a much more difficult Intermediate level zero conditional and first conditional lesson also on the topic of global warming , in my store. But it is quite a lot more difficult than this one.

I use this lesson with a mixed ability Beginner Adult ESL class. It is an integrated reading and writing lesson on the topic of language learning needs. The concept of language learning needs is introduced by a short reading text. By using this lesson with your students you will help them to become active language learners as well as learn the language to talk about their studies in general. This 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. What’s included? a reading text 3 x reading tasks of varying difficulty Vocab related to language learning Extension activities – grammar focus Completing forms Guided writing This lesson 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 to help you learn more about your students Using a Needs Analysis gives you, the teacher, an insight into what the students need to learn and how they prefer to learn. But more importantly it will help you plan appropriate and relevant lessons specifically for them. Additionally, adult students appreciate that you are taking the time to find out about them and their needs. A Needs analysis is an important tool for all student centred Adult ESL classes. At beginner level it can be a bit tricky to obtain detailed information but with this highly structured and scaffolded resource you, the teacher, will be able to gain some valuable information about your students. At the same time your students will be learning some useful language and skills. 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.

Conversation starters to get your adult ESL learners talking to each other. The topic is jobs and occupations which is very relevant to adult learners. Best suited to Intermediate level students. Lower levels would need some vocab input to have a meaningful discussion. The aim of this lesson is to promote fluency and broaden students vocabulary on the topic of jobs and occupations. Package includes 9 separate prompt cards. Preparation - just print and cut into cards If you want to use the cards more than once, then either paste onto cardboard or laminate. Easy to use – put students into pairs or groups . Give each student a card and the student with the card leads the discussion about that card. Teacher provides vocab if they need help You could redistribute cards if you want to extend the activity. Opportunities for several follow up activities.

Use these task cards with your Adult ESL Beginner or Intermediate students to practice asking and answering questions using both regular and irregular verbs in the past 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. Included in this resource. 64 task cards - 32 in colour and 32 in black and white 2 grammar reference sheets with a review of Yes/no and Wh question forms lists of common regular and irregular verbs for students to refer to, if needed.
