I am a long time ESL teacher and KS2/KS3 tutor. I create professional handouts and activities which do not require any alteration, simply print and copy. I make my resources user-friendly, meaning they are easy for pupils to understand, effective at teaching the target skill and entertaining for pupils to use. Where colour is used, the worksheets generally can successfully be printed in black and white unless otherwise stated.

Polish Matura Exam - English Speaking

(0)
Speaking exercises in the format of the English speaking exam, part of the Polish Matura exam (similar to A-levels). Includes all parts on the topic of restaurants: starter questions, pictures to discuss and follow-up questions. The worksheet is set up in a way that it can be used in pairs to practise exam-style speaking questions. Please note: instructions are in Polish as done on the actual exam, so this is rather only suitable for Polish students!
Go Fish ESL Kids Game - A/An

Go Fish ESL Kids Game - A/An

(0)
ESL Kids game to reinforce use of ‘a’ or ‘an’ along with pronunciation of included vocabulary (pictures on the cards) and structure ‘have you got’. Game play goes just like go fish! A: Have you got a box? B: No, I haven’t. Have you got an umbrella? A: Yes! I have. The winner is the one with the most pairs when someone goes out. When someone goes out, those with cards in their hand need to subtract the number of cards from their pairs; ie, I have 2 pairs, so 4 cards, on the board. I am left with 3 cards in my hand when my partner goes out. Therefore, my score is 1 card.
SLEEP! Class discussion on the importance of sleep

SLEEP! Class discussion on the importance of sleep

(1)
Presentation which prompts pupils to think about and discuss how much sleep they get and whether it’s enough. It can be a good idea to start this lesson by asking pupils to write on the board the number of hours they got. You can prepare before class a big line with 1 at one end and 12 at the other. Ask pupils to put their number along the line. Discuss the results without singling out anyone. Handout with the same slides if you want them to follow along. Silly pictures to end a more serious class discussion on sleep habits, where pupils must answer 2 questions about each pictures - where and why!

Beginner/Elementary ESL Present Simple Speaking Chart
kelcasperkelcasper

Beginner/Elementary ESL Present Simple Speaking Chart

(0)
Help your low level ESL learners talk about their daily routine using a simple and clear speaking chart. By having learners tell each other about their own daily routine and that of others using this chart, they practice proper verb conjugation, learn useful verbs and phrases, and learn prepositions (at the weekend, on Monday, etc.). Use of this sort of speaking chart helps prevent small mistakes from becoming habit early one - repetition of the basics using the correct form can stop bad habits forming. This can be used either in a group with students in pairs or small groups, or in a one-to-one lesson between the student and teacher.
ESL Elementary Conversation Prompts

ESL Elementary Conversation Prompts

(0)
This is a simple activity to lead a conversation class with a low-level group of ESL learners. It may be adapted for a 1-1 lesson by simply the teacher being the partner. Print and cut out cards. Separate into 2 groups - questions and answers, and sentence prompts and extra general questions. Part 1 of the lesson: Organise students in pairs. Teach basic questions used when meeting someone for the first time by having students match questions to answers. Once they have matched pairs, have then organise the questions and answers into how they think the conversation would flow. Have pairs act out the dialogue. Tell students to act out the dialogue again but only using the questions. They should use the dialogue answers as models to create their own sentences about themselves. Part 2 of the lesson: Put 2 pairs together from Part 1 in order to form groups of 4. Hand out the second group of cards and tell students to mix them up face down. Students take turns drawing a card and must create a sentence using the prompt. If they draw a question card, they may ask anyone in the group the question. They should be encouraged to ask follow-up questions (depending on how strong the students are).

ESL / EFL Board Game for Teenagers - 0, 1st and 2nd Conditionals
kelcasperkelcasper

ESL / EFL Board Game for Teenagers - 0, 1st and 2nd Conditionals

(0)
Fun practice for your ESL/EFL students with an often dreaded grammar point - conditionals! A lot of the vocab utilises topics related to beauty and appearance, amongst other topics. The two board pages are meant to be attached side-by-side. Ideally, print them, then place on a photocopier together and make yourself some A3 sized copies. The sheet of cards are to be printed double-sided and placed upside down near the board. Included are pdf files plus editable docx files, so that you can change some of the discussion topics to suite your group. Game Play: As with a typical board game, students take turns rolling a die and moving around the board. They must talk about the different topics on the board as they land on the spaces. Depending on your class, you may add a more competitive element here - make them time each other to talk for 30 seconds or 1 minute, if they succeed then they get to stay on the square, if they fail then they have to move back 1 space. On ‘NEGOTIATE’ squares, the student takes one of the cards and must follow the instructions. Encourage use of conditionals at this point (if you do my homework, I’ll buy you an ice cream). The first person to reach the end wins.
