ESL EFL ENGLISH SPEAKING PRACTICE CARDS 100 Q & A & REFERENCE BOOK a great way of getting your students talking 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 they are likely to meet in both the beginning and more intermediate stages of their English learning.
My students apply their developing English knowledge creatively and practically by crafting their own questions and answers, using the prompts as speaking frames. With focused and frequent practice, 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 accurately, 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 language in this set is ideal for advanced beginner English students moving into intermediate English, and feature a range of differentiated questions and answers, addressing various aspects of English, such as forming questions, the use of the present and present continuous tenses, word order and so on. This is really important for language learners, who often attempt to impose the grammar and structures of their first language onto the new language they are learning.

ENGLISH RESOURCE BOX #1
**ESL EFL BEGINNER ENGLISH ADVANCED BEGINNER ENGLISH INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH : 5 RESOURCES, £5.00** ***All files are non-editable in zipped formats. They are copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** This ***ESL English resource box*** is ideal for ***beginner English***, ***advanced beginner English*** into ***intermediate English*** students. There are ***5 resources***, each for £1, featuring active, differentiated, multi-skill and independent learning activities. Some of the resources overlap various learning stages, though I’ve found that students, regardless of age or stage, often benefit from, and genuinely enjoy, working with activities that are primarily designed for other ability or knowledge stages. This may be either as practice and revision, or as additional or more accessible and manageable challenge. These factors are all key to ***motivating learners*** to engage with, and progress in, a new language. There’s certainly prep work involved with some of the resources – I always laminate my language and task cards for example, as they’re much more easy to manipulate, and so far more learner-friendly. They do however last in excellent condition for years, so for me, laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense. You don’t have to prepare them all at once – the resources are definitely useful for the longer-term, so you can take your time with the prep, focusing on what you’re working with at any specific stage. **RESOURCE 1: ENGLISH NUMBERS 0-100 WORD SEARCHES WITH ANSWER KEYS** ***Read the full outline here:*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-numbers-0-100-word-searches-12683527](http://) **RESOURCE 2: ENGLISH CHRISTMAS NUMBERS 0-31 TASK CARDS WITH ANSWER KEY** ***Read the full outline here:*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-christmas-numbers-0-31-challenge-cards-2-12948478](http://) **RESOURCE 3: ENGLISH 100 CONVERSATION STARTERS #1 FOR BEGINNER ENGLISH TO INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH** ***Read the full outline here:*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-conversation-starters-1-12842870](http://) **RESOURCE 4: ENGLISH 100 PAIRED SPEAKING PRACTICE CARDS WITH REFERENCE BOOK** ***Read the full outline here:*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-speaking-practice-cards-1-12792324](http://) **RESOURCE 5: ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS?WHOLE-GROUP GAME** ***Read the full outline here:*** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/english-fruits-and-vegetables-i-have-who-has-12647256](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more ESL English resources and freebies.*** **THANKS AND ENJOY YOUR ENGLISH LESSONS!**

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.
