L1/2 FS English using 'a', 'an' and 'the' (2nd language learners)

This lesson is aimed at second language learners taking L1 and L2 functional skills English qualifications. The presentation also acts as a lesson plan and can be followed in stages, my lessons are approximately 2 hours long so this could be spread over 2 shorter sessions if needed. All activities mentioned, which have separate sheets are included.

1. Presentation- starts with an introduction to articles in English and goes through different rules, activities, opportunities to use the skills discussed etc
2. Funny news story without any articles, learners encouraged to read it aloud to see how strange it sounds, before working on where the articles need to be inserted
3. A more serious news article without articles, learners encouraged to use the infographic/flowchart included on the presentation to help them answer
4. Brief introduction to count and uncountable nouns, with a noun sorting activity (I normally go into types of nouns in more detail in the following session, also providing further practice with articles and more consolidation- I will also upload this second session)
