Are you learning Greek? Are you looking for a fun way to learn Greek? I have developed a way to learn different languages based on my experience as an ESL teacher. This pack has 57 different settings for students to talk about in Greek. The worksheets themselves are in English and the students do need to translate the places and objects they see into Greek. At the end of the session, the students can play a fun game of word bingo to show they have mastered that day’s vocabulary. Try it, it is a lot of fun for everyone!
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different locations being shown in each of the photos.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching set of story prompts.
The students could also take five of the laminated photos and create them into a story .
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Welcome to the second English ESL book. Like the first one, it’s packed full of worksheets that can be photocopied freely for use in the classroom, as well as being an ideal tool for students to work through at home. We’ve included resources that test grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, spelling and speaking & listening skills. A huge variety of material that we hope will be fun to use and really helpful, whether you are at school or at home. A big thank you must go to all the students who have tried and tested these resources in the classroom prior to us producing the book!
While the first book (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/60-entry-level-grammar-worksheets-for-english-lessons-and-esl-with-answers-11156436) was aimed primarily at Entry Level students, this one is aimed at higher level students, either Intermediate Level or Level 1 (ESOL
Core Curriculum), depending on how you choose to label them. There are also a few worksheets for practising more basic skills, such as the two Writing Skills worksheets. However, most of the material reflects the higher level, and will provide a wealth of stimulating lessons for students who are starting to become more independent in their learning.
With this in mind we have included a brand new section - Test Your Research Skills. Here you will find quizzes on a range of topics that require students to go and do some research, using a library facility, encyclopaedia (whether in CD Rom or old fashioned book form!), or even the internet...
I have created a PowerPoint presentation combining Paper 1 and the mark scheme so you can ask a question, and immediately see the answer and the explanation. This is great for a wide range of different circumstances. If the students have completed the test this lets the teacher review the paper question by question. It also a great what of revising grammar at the whole class level. Each student shows the answer on whiteboard and then immediately check their answers.
A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstrate the formats and
curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. A commentary is provided in the
mark scheme that accompanies each question.
This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how the tests will
be marked. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shorter process
than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes.
The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers.

Here are lots of different fun teaching resources for students who are learning to speak English as a second language, or for students who want to revise and improve their understanding of English. This is perfect for both an home or school setting.
Science week is a great time to discuss the importance of science.
Some countries such as India have Science Day, while other celebrate International Science Week.
The idea is for the students to draw a scientist at the start of the lesson... then compare what they thought science was (generally a wild haired, white guy doing crazy stuff in a lab) with what they thought science was at the end of the lesson and hopefully there has been a change of ideas.
This presentation has links to 2 great YouTube videos which explain why science is so important to everyone. I also listed some of key branches of science, with a brief introduction and pictures. The idea is to discuss how science affects our every day life and how in reality, we are all scientists at heart.

A lovely collection of different ESL Teaching Resources to teach a wide range of ages and skills. There is something for everyone in this collection. You will be able to get your class talking!
Are you learning Punjabi? Are you wanting to learn in a more fun way? I have adapted teaching resources I made to teach ESL to teach Punjabi. While the worksheets are still in English, the students translate the 57 settings and 114 pages of worksheets into Punjabi and learn them with a Punjabi teacher. The worksheets encourage the students to speak in Punjabi and recall the words they have used in each lesson.
Are you looking at buildings? Are you interesting in really tall buildings and towers? I have collected together 30 photos of tall buildings and structures for you to discuss with your class.

The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different types of towers. The students can then discuss why they think each one was built.
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Qatar History and Citizenship is a compulsory subject for any primary school teacher in Qatar.
When I taught this subject in Qatar, I was surprised to discover how thin the student text book was, how little resources were available for students on the Internet and that there was no teacher guide to help teachers effectively teach this subject.
This Year 2 teaching pack contains lesson plans and additional worksheets to support 39 weekly lessons. These lessons cover all a student needs to know about the subject, and the lessons are designed to motivate and excite a student's interest in the history around them.
These worksheets could be printed out and used as workbooks in the classroom, sent home as additional homework or shared via an interactive whiteboard.
*** Please note that these resources are designed to be used with the official text book, not as a replacement. ***

Talk a Lot - Spoken English Course - Public Domain Book
A Great New Way to Learn Spoken English
Elementary Handbook
• General Information about Talk a Lot Courses
• How to Use Talk a Lot Resources
• Focus on Connected Speech
• Focus on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
• 100% Photocopiable
This handbook shows you how to use Talk a Lot materials to learn or teach spoken English,
as well as providing background information and practice worksheets on related topics, such
as connected speech, sentence and word stress, and the International Phonetic Alphabet
(IPA).
The Talk a Lot course objectives are very simple:
• Every student talking in English
• Every student listening to and understanding English
• Every student thinking in English, and
• Every student taking part in class
Talk a Lot is structured so that every student can practise and improve English grammar,
vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, word and sentence stress, and interpersonal skills, by
working in pairs, groups and one to one with the teacher.
The main benefits of Talk a Lot are:
• Students have to think in English during lessons in a controlled and focused way
• Students learn how to memorise correct English structures naturally, without abstract
and unrelated grammar lessons
• Students learn how to construct eight different common verb forms, using positive,
negative and question forms, as well as embedded grammar appropriate to their
level. The verb forms studied are: Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple,
Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Modal Verbs, Future Forms, and First Conditional
• Students learn many essential vocabulary words by heart, including word stress and
the sounds of English
• Students learn how to become more fluent when speaking in English, by joining
together words in a sentence using the techniques of connected speech
• Students enjoy following a simple and effective method that produces results quickly.
This handbook is not intended to be an exhaustive academic work. The aim was to write a
brief, helpful guide and pack of resources that would provide a way into practise and
language work in the classroom, rather than a dry, analytical manual. For example, I have
deliberately avoided confusing jargon when writing about connected speech. Phrases like
“bilabial plosive” and “palato-alveolar approximate” – though fun to say – can be studied later,
or at the student’s leisure.
