This is a Low PREP (just photocopy and go) reading and writing lesson for a mixed ability beginner ESL or Adult Migrant Class. It also includes some paired speaking activities.
This is a flexible lesson that can be used in a variety of ways:
• with a whole class,
• a small group or
• one to one
There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students levels and needs. It may take 1 lesson or could take several lessons depending on your learners and how you present the material.
The lesson is based on a simple Information Text about Christmas in Australia. It could be used as a seasonal text in Australia or elsewhere but can be used at any time of the year as a reading activity based on an Information text. There is also opportunity for the students to talk and write about celebrations in their own cultures.
It contains 6 structured tasks, 4 of them are based directly on the Information Text. The last 2 tasks extend the topic and relate to celebrations in the students country of origin, giving the students the opportunity to share something about themselves and their culture. This is great for classroom dynamics. There is a mixture of reading, writing and speaking included.
I have done all the work so all you have to do is print and go.
Language is British/Australian English but there are no big differences to prevent use in US. Slides print to A4 paper.
I have checked this carefully, but if you find any errors, typos etc. please let me know so that I can fix it.

Information Reports for Adult ESL Beginners
This is a bundle of three reading lessons suitable for a mixed ability beginner or low level Pre Intermediate ESL or Adult Migrant class. The lessons are based on Information Reports all with an Australian flavour which would be great for Australian Adult Migrant classes but they would also work with English learners in other countries as there is also opportunities to discuss and write about aspects of the students own culture or country. Some of the language will be challenging for Beginner students so it's not suitable for complete Beginners (see my lesson My Family and I if you are looking for something for complete Beginners) but with some scaffolding it will be accessible to most good beginners or low level pre-intermediate students. There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs. Each lesson includes * Reading comprehension * Speaking activities - pair work * Vocabulary building activities * Review and practice of present simple tense * Understanding the structure of simple Information Reports * Writing an Information Report - 2 Options - 1. very guided or 2. supported * Language, topics and presentation suitable for adults For complete details see the description of each individual product.
