This integrated reading and speaking resource is based on the topic of goal setting. It is designed for Intermediate level Adult ESL/EAL students. It can be used during back-to-school time, at the start of a new course, at new year. There is enough material for at least 3 lessons and as well as an in-depth look into goals, there is also material on overcoming, obstacles, dealing with distractions and time management. Goal setting is an important and popular topic for Adult ESL classes. Most adult ESL students will come to class with a goal which is often something long term and not very specific such as “improve my English”, “Get a job” or “go to university” . But apart from attending a class they haven’t really thought about how they will get there. This resource will help them break down their long-term goals into smaller more achievable goals that will help to keep them motivated. Because adult ESL students often have other commitments such as part time work, or family responsibilities they face a lot of obstacles. This resource addresses those challenges to ensure the students success. Topic related vocabulary, developing reading skills and lots of speaking/discussion opportunities are embedded in these lessons. In this resource you will find 11 varied Activities that include: 3 x reading texts and comprehension activities. 4 x Vocabulary Activities 5 x graphic organisers Teachers’ notes Answer keys For more details of what’s included refer to the thumbnail for a list of contents.
