Speaking ESL and English with getting to know you questions + poster task + adjective revision

(0)
With two great starters for any subject or for English KS3 and 4, students will do a fun getting to know you task, then brainstorm adjectives, then do a project about peace and harmony to display on the wall. Great for collaboration, fun, team building skills, reviewing adjectives and active learning. Can also be used as an introductory unit for IGCSE ESL or any ESL / EAL work.

Amazing spelling game with letters for any age

(0)
This game is excellent for any age to improve listening and spelling. There are a sheet of letters which need to be copied and laminated each student will receive about 55 letters and work in a group or with another person. The teacher calls out the word and the students have to spell the word using the letters on their desk then call out if they are first t finish. It is so competitive and mostly used in English/EAL and ESL but can be used even as a warmer to review key words in any subject. There are some recommended words form easy to hard but of course the list is endless. All students enjoy this because it is hands on and interactive.

Literacy Punctuation and spelling

This activity can be used as a basic literacy task for ESL learners or key stage 2-4. The students have to correct the text, if time allows the teacher can get the students to create a vlog with the information. If teacher has resources and extra time this can work as a great extra curricular project with food technology, drama, media studies, ICT and health sciences. The teacher can bring in the food and students can use it as a prop to make vlog. Students love this because nowadys many aspire to be you tubers. It meets literacy, communication, and citizenship objectives.

Gratitude card for teacher appreciation/ EAL/LITERACY/PSHE/FORM CLASS/ KEY STAGE 2 ENGLISH

(0)
Helps with basic literacy, this is a card that students can write to express gratitude and thanks to their favourite teacher. They can improve their ability to justify their choices and use the conjunction because to develop their use of connectives. This helps build a nice whole school approach, it enables learners to move around the school, be creative and enhance their personal and social skills. It is also a great task for EAL/ or primary school English learners.

Reward Chart + Oscars to laminate for class motivation and rewards! Awesome tool for English/Drama

Reward Chart + Oscars to laminate for class motivation and rewards! Awesome tool for English/Drama

(0)
For any English activity or drama activity, for example after debates, presentations, group work, and poster activities I award my learners with an Oscar. I use three categories each month and one group Oscar prize, one individual prize and another individual prize(for progress). So every student has a chance to win an award each month. The students get so excited at the Oscar concept, as it is something they know and can relate to. Instructions Photocopy the Oscars and laminate them, you can use the chart across the whole year if you just edit the dates on the document, the one here starts from Sept to Dec, simply enlarge the chart or decrease the Oscars so they fit in the chart. At the end of the month the learners of the categories will get a prize. A movie, sweets or whatever your school policy is usually motivates the students. Hang it on your classroom wall, it will get the students excited! Something visual that is always there is a great motivating tool.

Students act as teachers and identify the mistakes throughout the health blog, this reinforces their ability to recognize errors and correct in pairs. At the end they can make a video in groups based on the text. A great interactive activity!
