We are a group of ESL teachers based in China, but the materials we provide here are suitable for ESL students anywhere in the world. We have a selection of stand alone lessons, and presentations that can easily be incorporated into existing lessons for ESL students. Almost all of our materials are aimed at students over 16, but they would work with any learners of an intermediate level or higher.

The quite well known counting game adapted for an ESL class, and put into powerpoint to allow students to quickly grasp the format of the game. It is presented in three levels to build students familiarity with the concept.
A quick introductory activity to get students thinking, and using English to discuss what they saw. Four different images are on the presentation, it is suggested that just one or two are used, as a warmer to get students into speaking English.
A fun ESL powerpoint taking students through over thirty different what am I riddles. A perfect time filler for the last ten minutes of class, when you get done early. Can easily be adapted to fit different purposes and to review some new vocabulary. It is based on Chinese students, but that only affects 3 or 4 different slides.
A quick worksheet to review the correct usage for am / are / is / do / does. Students fill in the gaps, and then use the worksheet to interview their partner, ideal for the start of a new class, as they questions are all getting to know you ones.
A simple 75 page presentation where each page has a common English expression. Personally I use this is in class in a number of ways, either on a screen or printed out. One student must talk to the other, and make them say the expression on the screen or on their sheet before moving on to the next one.
An introduction to how to ask indirect questions in English followed by the Cluedo game, which you can find uploaded separately in the store. This is everything students need to be able ask indirect esl questions.
Fifty one quick riddles for ESL students designed to get them thinking in English. Personally I drip feed in one or two at the start of each class to get them thinking.
A popular ESL game is to have one student at the front of the class, and behind them the teacher writes a word. The rest of the class then have to describe that word to the student. This can also be done in pairs, with teams alternating giving clues. Either way works well, but this presentation takes things to a new level. With a total of 15 musical instruments images. These are all words that should be familiar to Intermediate level ESL students or higher, and Beginner students will know the vast majority of them.
This is just a taste of what you will get if you purchase the complete edition with its 366 images divided into 10 different categories. Slides are in alphabetical order, as I prefer to use a split screen and choose what slide will appear next.
A simple ppt and lesson plan to take students through brainstorming and thinking about a topic before they produce an essay on the said topic. Ideal to give students some practice in the ability to write enough in a given time limit under exam conditions.
This is a preview of the full 101 question file, which is available to buy here
This file contains questions covering chapters one to nine
This interactive pdf file, is perfect for your students to work with as they study the Harper Lee classic. This is a very common book for students to read during their high school life, and there is no better way to check their understanding than by having them write short answer to a range of question about what they have read.
The book has 31 chapters, so I have divided it into 11 sections. Each section has ten questions to cover chapters in groups of 3, that makes a total of 100 questions. Then there is one final question for students to consider when they have finished the novel.
In this modern world, I believe homework and assignments like this should be done online wherever possible. This is to promote distance learning, along with making offline courses easier to deal with too. You can of course print the book out, and it will work fine too.
On purchase you will get a zipped file containing two pdfs, they are identical in that they are pdf files with the questions divided into manageable chunks. One file has the answers filled in (or at least suggested answers) for all questions.
Enjoy
A 45 minute lesson to review what students need to during part 2 of the IELTS writing exam, lesson plan is included along with brief ppt. It is a group writing lesson, so students will also have a chance to practice their logical writing skills, and have the chance to grade their writing together. An ideal lesson to put towards the end of a writing course, and suitable for all levels from Intermediate to Advanced.
Questions can of course be changed to fit the class, and the marking scheme provided is generic enough to fit any type of essay an Intermediate to Advanced level class would be writing
A one hour lesson to introduce students to the different genres of music, and the instruments used to create them.

Word files for the worksheets have been uploaded so they can be easily uploaded.
