ENGLISH DATES DAYS MONTHS SEASONS TASK CARDS

ESL EFL ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING English Days, Months, Seasons, Dates Task Cards are perfect for advanced beginner English to intermediate English students, and really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of this essential English language in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling. They’re great for helping students familiarize themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling in English in general, and certainly in English dates, days, months and seasons in particular.

The questions range in complexity and challenge, and some call upon prior knowledge too, helping students make links and build bridges in their learning. There may be some words students are not familiar with - these questions give them the opportunity to learn and apply new language too. There is a significant amount of practice and consolidation of language and grammar, such as word order, punctuation, nuances of spoken versus written language, tense, and ordinal / cardinal numbers. This maximizes the learning potential of the activity, which I take further when we look at multiple choice questions seeking to identify errors - being able to identify errors, and explain what is inaccurate, is a really important language learning skill, and really helps students progress in their learning.

The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language creatively and practically too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other.

The resource comprises the following non-editable files:

36 differentaited question cards, 4 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper

answer recording sheet I tend to use these for more formal assessment purposes, so for class work, my students use their work notebook, which also saves on prep and paper.

answer key students can assess their own or each others’ work, which helps develop independence in learning, and is also a great teacher time-saver! Answer keys are quite integral to this kind of activity in my experience, as they provide learners with an additional valuable opportunity to engage with language

vocabulary reference sheet essential learning support, which is also useful as a longer-term reference resource
