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…

The resource also contains an activity booklet for students with 11 pages so that they keep a record of their learning.

- A recap about jobs and daily routine with a reading with definitions, a writing activity and a song.
