Lots of FREE Great Teaching Ideas To Get ESL Students Speaking More Confidently In Class!
Talk a Lot - Spoken English Course - Public Domain Book
A Great New Way to Learn Spoken English
Elementary Handbook
• General Information about Talk a Lot Courses
• How to Use Talk a Lot Resources
• Focus on Connected Speech
• Focus on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
• 100% Photocopiable
This handbook shows you how to use Talk a Lot materials to learn or teach spoken English,
as well as providing background information and practice worksheets on related topics, such
as connected speech, sentence and word stress, and the International Phonetic Alphabet
(IPA).
The Talk a Lot course objectives are very simple:
• Every student talking in English
• Every student listening to and understanding English
• Every student thinking in English, and
• Every student taking part in class
Talk a Lot is structured so that every student can practise and improve English grammar,
vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, word and sentence stress, and interpersonal skills, by
working in pairs, groups and one to one with the teacher.
The main benefits of Talk a Lot are:
• Students have to think in English during lessons in a controlled and focused way
• Students learn how to memorise correct English structures naturally, without abstract
and unrelated grammar lessons
• Students learn how to construct eight different common verb forms, using positive,
negative and question forms, as well as embedded grammar appropriate to their
level. The verb forms studied are: Present Simple, Present Continuous, Past Simple,
Past Continuous, Present Perfect, Modal Verbs, Future Forms, and First Conditional
• Students learn many essential vocabulary words by heart, including word stress and
the sounds of English
• Students learn how to become more fluent when speaking in English, by joining
together words in a sentence using the techniques of connected speech
• Students enjoy following a simple and effective method that produces results quickly.
This handbook is not intended to be an exhaustive academic work. The aim was to write a
brief, helpful guide and pack of resources that would provide a way into practise and
language work in the classroom, rather than a dry, analytical manual. For example, I have
deliberately avoided confusing jargon when writing about connected speech. Phrases like
“bilabial plosive” and “palato-alveolar approximate” – though fun to say – can be studied later,
or at the student’s leisure.

Thousands of Report Comments All Primary School+ Teacher Report Writing Assistant
I collected together thousands of different report comments used by the QCA to describe learning outcomes and created a whole school report writing tool for every class in a primary schools. It will save you hours and hours when you write your reports. I can now write all my school reports in an afternoon or a couple of evenings.
I have used this set of report writing comments for the last 10 years. I have included a link to help you download the freeware report writing software and also a step by step guide to help you get the most out of this wonderful software.
I have gone through hundreds of different teaching schemes written by the QCA and I have re-written their learning outcomes as report comments. It is now possible to simply click the different things a student has achieved in a specific topic and cut and paste it into your school reports.
I have made sure that for English and Maths, that it is possible to differentiate between high, middle and lower achieving children. Each report is still written with a single child in mind, and so every report still comes out unique and special to that student. The difference being you now simply add their name, their sex and click on the statements which are relevant to them.
In the past, I have received great praise for this material and often it has been described as a life or career saver, when teachers needed to produce a complete set of high quality teaching resources in a very short time.
Please note - due to the huge number of different files and comments I have produced, it is still possible there will be an occasional typo in the comments bank. Please read and check your reports after writing them to make sure they are perfect before sending them out.

2016 Year 6 Sample SATS Maths Papers - Questions And Answers
In 2016, there will be a new Maths test format. I have taken the sample 2016 Maths SATs tests and combined the original question and answer papers into single documents. This means you can ask a single question to the class, wait for a response on their mini white boards and then check their answers against the official marking scheme.
Check out my new video on how to make this lesson extra successful.
The great thing about this is it really reduces the amount of stress in the classroom as the students are able to work on their own, in pairs or small teams to work out the answer. They can then discuss their different strategies at resolving each of the questions..
This is a nice set of teaching resources to keep a lesson well paced and snappy.

Teaching students how to run or hide in a terrorist attack - Child friendly booklet.
After the Paris terrorist attack, good advice came out from homeland security on what to do if you face an attack. However it was focused on adults and not child friendly. I thought I would create a simple book which explains to children what is now recommended in the case of an active shooter attack. You should however still point out that this is an incredibly unlikely event - but one students now need to be prepared for.
