Adult Beginners ESL Introduction to the Present Continuous Tense
This is a print and go grammar lesson focusing on irregular past tense verb forms. It is for Pre-Intermediate adult ESL Students. It is an integrated lesson with a mix of speaking, grammar and writing.
It begins with some structured grammatical activities which could be done orally first and then written. The second part of the lesson is more open – ended, allowing students to integrate what they’ve learned.
The focus of the lesson is on
•Irregular past tense verb forms
•Negatives and questions in the past tense (which many students find challenging)
Most of the Activities are self explanatory and answers are provided for the structured activities. In most cases there are other possible answers.
The open-ended activities provide opportunities for extension for stronger students and flexibility in how it is delivered.
I would expect the lesson to take about 2 hours for an average class, with some of the written tasks set for homework.

ESL Students find Idioms challenging. This lesson teaches 16 idioms related to feelings. As well as useful in day to day life these idioms are also particularly relevant to the speaking part of the IELTS exam.
As I know teachers are super busy and may not have time for any prep, this lesson has been designed so it can be used in 3 ways:
1.No prep print and go worksheets for in class or homework
A card matching activity requiring preparation – cutting up cards. laminating etc. Once done it can used again (and again) You will need 1 set of the blue cards (16 cards) and 1 set of the black cards (16 cards) for each pair of students.
Used in class, this activity will generate discussion and probably laughter as they try to work out the meaning of some of these idioms. This is the best way to teach this lesson if you have the time to set it up.
Mix and match– part in class with the writing activity fo homework. The writing activity can also be done orally in class.
This Powerpoint presentation is a comprehensive guide for students preparing for the IELTS exam.

Idioms are challenging for ESL students as they can not be directly translated. But they are fun to teach . This is an engaging lesson based on Idioms using body part that will generate lots of interaction and laughs. It is suitable for Adult ESL students of Intermediate level and above. It is also provides useful Vocab extension for IELTS speaking exam which requires use of idiomatic language to get the higher band levels.
I have created this resource with 2 Options as I know that teachers often don’t have time to prep resources and are looking for something to print and Go
Option A involves prepping cards - cutting/laminating etc.
Tip if short of time – give students the photocopied pages and scissors and they cut their own set. Option A is the best option - it will be more interactive and fun for the students.
But if you are short of time :
Option B is no prep – just printing
The resource includes:
2 sets of cards with 24 cards each
Set A = Idioms x 24 Blue borders
Set B = meaning x 24 Red borders
1 set per pair works best or you could use 1 set per group
Plus 2 Activity worksheets that can be used at different levels and in different ways
Activity 4 a is a gap fill activity with the missing idioms provided
Activity 4 b is the same gap fill activity without the missing idioms (therefore much harder)
Activity 5 (2 pages) is a worksheet to record the meaning of the idioms and examples of use
Language used is based on British/Australian usage
