When we engage in a conversation with people for the first time one of the first questions are: What do you do? Where do you work? So teaching about jobs and workplaces has to come early in our teaching. How about having the context, the vocabulary and the grammar in just one place with explanations, exercises and feedback?
This flexible resource will help you teach young adults and adults about workplaces and the use of nouns (singular/plural) with articles –the emphasis being on the structure: She/He is A…., She/He works IN…
It also contains a recap about jobs and the daily routine. This resource is aimed at helping teachers to complement their textbook or to give enough material for those who are not lucky enough to have access to ESL textbooks/material.
The resource contains a powerpoint with 29 slides with clear explanations at the bottom of each one of them to give you a step-by-step explanation about the progression of the lesson. The exercises are corrected to save you time!
The resource also contains an activity booklet for students with 11 pages so that they keep a record of their learning.
The approach is communicative to allow students to develop their speaking skills but it also contains grammar points reinforced by exercises to consolidate their grammatical skills and writing skills.
You will find different types of activities to allow a greater differentiation in your class:
- A recap about jobs and daily routine with a reading with definitions, a writing activity and a song.
- matching up (about jobs and workplaces)
- Filling gaps
- Speaking activities in pairs
- Another song to develop students’ listening skills about jobs and the present tense
- A grammar point followed by exercises and correction (singular/plural nouns, a/an, irregular plural forms)
- Writing
- Survey
- Review of objectives
I suggest you use this resource after the ESL Unit 2 lesson 3 to help students structure their knowledge but you can easily use this resource on its own!
Have fun!
