A picture to describe, with exercises. The exercises are for EAL students, whlie the rest of the class get on and describe the picture. Key for the cloze and some ideas for using the picture on page 2. My apologies if these ideas are teaching granny how to suck eggs;-)

A compilation of fun, mainly kinaesthetic activities, which can be adapted to most subject areas and levels. Why 47? Why not!

A reading passage with exercises.The language focus is the past simple tense. I got the template from Baiba, a member of the greatest EAL site in the world: (erm, after this one, of course!) eslprintables

This is a list of ten great ESL websites with descriptions of what they offer.

This is a handout with twenty-seven sentences. They have to choose the correct homophone from the brackets. A key is included.

Urban legend, adapted from the internet. The story is on the first slide, then there are various activities: visuals for Splat, or Q &A session; true or false/put the story in sequential order/guidelines for a hot seat and ideas on how to teach the story. My aim is to get the students to produce a recount.

56 slides - a compilation of more or less ready-to-go fun activities. Besides ideas, I have included some exercises that you can use or adapt, also website addresses where you can access materials. I enjoyed putting this together and I hope it will be useful.

This is a 20 slide powerpoint about Veganuary. There are match-ups, gap fills, true or false activities, correct the spellings, mini RCs, research tasks (design a menu for…) and hopefully, food for thought. I have designed this for advanced EAL learners, but it will make a good form time activity. My thanks to Veganuary and Rich of vegansidekick for permission to use their visuals.

There are six shopping lists. What can students deduce about the people's personalities? On page 2, there are some prompts and a gap fill activity as differentiation.

30 slides with brain teasers, hidden words, quiz activities.... things you may find useful for tutor period or as lesson starters to get those brains in gear. I have created some of these slides and adapted others from the net. Many of the puzzles are all time classics. On slides where the animations don't come in, answers are on the notes section at the bottom of the slide.

This is a compilation of activities, strategies and methods of differentiation to include EAL students in mainstream English.

A simple worksheet on whether to use past or passed. I noticed lots of people getting this wrong.

A short introduction to Botany Bay, with some language exercises.

This is a picture-based discussion exercise. I give my students some time to look at the sheet. Then , in pairs, they each have to argue one case or the other. Makes a great starter to 'Romeo and Juliet&'.

Using visuals is a good thing! Here is an infographic on how to support EAL students within the mainstream classroom. Fully editable.

I am making a series of picture-based discussions on various topics of general interest. I use these during tutor period to get the group thinking, debating and writing.

Prompts for students to debate which snack is best - a packet of crisps, a bar of chocolate or an apple?

Some pictures to compare and contrast, with questions to promote a discussion about whether to have school uniform and what it should look like.

This is a series of images of women in various roles. The students have to say which image matches each stanza in 'A Woman To Her Lover&' and they have to justify their decisions.

A series of worksheets: Words beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The clue is given and the students work out what the word is. I'll upload these as I complete them. To extend this, the students can choose any noun and mind map it with &'where do you see it? What is it made of? Draw it. Design a symbol for it etc...\nMore to come!
