Are you learning Scottish Gaelic? Are you looking for a fun way to learn Scottish Gaelic? I have developed a way to learn different languages based on my experience as an ESL teacher.

The worksheets themselves are in English and the students do need to translate the places and objects they see into Scottish Gaelic. At the end of the session, the students can play a fun game of word bingo to show they have mastered that day’s vocabulary. Try it, it is a lot of fun for everyone!

Welcome to the second English ESL book. Like the first one, it’s packed full of worksheets that can be photocopied freely for use in the classroom, as well as being an ideal tool for students to work through at home. We’ve included resources that test grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, spelling and speaking & listening skills. A huge variety of material that we hope will be fun to use and really helpful, whether you are at school or at home. A big thank you must go to all the students who have tried and tested these resources in the classroom prior to us producing the book!
While the first book (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/60-entry-level-grammar-worksheets-for-english-lessons-and-esl-with-answers-11156436) was aimed primarily at Entry Level students, this one is aimed at higher level students, either Intermediate Level or Level 1 (ESOL
Core Curriculum), depending on how you choose to label them. There are also a few worksheets for practising more basic skills, such as the two Writing Skills worksheets. However, most of the material reflects the higher level, and will provide a wealth of stimulating lessons for students who are starting to become more independent in their learning.
With this in mind we have included a brand new section - Test Your Research Skills. Here you will find quizzes on a range of topics that require students to go and do some research, using a library facility, encyclopaedia (whether in CD Rom or old fashioned book form!), or even the internet...
Some fun resources for anyone teaching about chocolate. This pack includes a presentation, two fin chocolate related quizzes and an English story writing prompt.
I have created a PowerPoint presentation combining Paper 1 and the mark scheme so you can ask a question, and immediately see the answer and the explanation. This is great for a wide range of different circumstances. If the students have completed the test this lets the teacher review the paper question by question. It also a great what of revising grammar at the whole class level. Each student shows the answer on whiteboard and then immediately check their answers.
A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstrate the formats and
curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. A commentary is provided in the
mark scheme that accompanies each question.
This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how the tests will
be marked. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shorter process
than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes.
The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers.
I love to get the students really talking about an issue. I saw another teacher do it and thought that this looks really effective.
My Walk to School Week teaching resources are designed to get the students to think about why we should walk to school, what are the alternatives and the benefits and the costs of walking to school using different modes of transport. They are also designed to get students really talking, listening and expressing their own ideas.
My teaching resources could be printed out and made into an eye catching, thought provoking display or used as a whole class discussion stimulus.
I am now making a new series of resources like this, so that teachers and students can get a lot more out of every lesson.

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.
Welcome to the 'Let’s Talk in ESL!' pack.
This set of cards looks at 57 different settings. The teacher describes something in the top card. The students then use this to model a sentence using the bottom set of pictures. There are lots of things to see and describe in every picture. When the students have completed this task, they can repeat it by working in pairs to discuss each picture.
There are lots of different ways you could use this pack. You could laminate them into two cards and get each student to talk about what they had seen in their picture.

Welcome to the 'Let’s Write in ESL!' pack.
There are lots of ways of using this teaching pack. It could be used as writing assessment for students learning ESL. The students could write about a topic in ESL before starting a unit, and then write again about the topic, using the second worksheet at the end of the topic to see how much they have progressed.
It could also be used as an introduction to guided writing. Students can write sentences as a class and share the sentences together and they can then write them on their own. Alternatively, students could work in pairs - one student dictates to the other what to write down about what they see in the picture.
These pages could also be used to write different stories, using the pictures as a stimulus.

Welcome to the ESL Bingo pack.
This is a simple starter game for students.
There are 114 different pictures to choose from. Select a single picture and project the image on
the wall or share it with the class as a handout.
Talk about the picture and then ask your students to select and write down 5 items from the
picture. Then look at the picture and pick out all the key vocabulary you want them to talk about.
The first student to have all their items read out is the winner.
With 57 different settings and 114 different game cards, there are plenty chances for great
vocabulary.
