A PPT which walks students through the different parts of the CAE speaking test and what is required of them, including example questions for each part. This was a whole lesson for my class when I gave them time to practice and feedback on each part too.

A PPT designed to help students review 7 main types of figurative language: Similes, Metaphors, Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, Hyperbole, Idioms and Personification. Students fill in the vowels to remember and spell them correctly, then write a short definition of each one with an example sentence, then there are 10 short extracts from pop song lyrics where students need to correctly identify the types of figurative language used in each one. I also found the exact parts of the song for the students to listen to as they were thinking and this went down really well. Great for an end of term review after introducing figurative language. From my experience - students found this really engaging.

A short simple cloze activity of adding 6 linking words: because, as, so, therefore, as a result, when to basic PEE paragraphs. Ideal for students just learning to make inferences this way and practicing linking their sentences together to be more cohesive.

A PPT I made to introduce my students to what inferences are. There are tasks to make inferences based on a photograph, and then from song lyrics - one for each era. Debut and Fearless I have designed with question prompts for whole class examples, and then each other era to be printed individually for small group work. The final task is a writing task based on a photograph encouraging students to show not tell. Could also be the basis for a nice annotated class display.

An engaging PPT designed to cover 6 x 1 hour lessons with a group of international students being taught subject support to assist them with their Business skills. Notes and answers have been added to the slides to help T where necessary. The lessons include a variety of speaking, writing, and grammar tasks using a variety of independent, pair and group work. The lessons are designed to get students understanding critical thining and how to think critically about different things and develop their problem solving skills teaching them to think ‘outside the box’. The grammar focus for these lessons is on the first conditional. There is a final project for the students to apply their learning.
