Use these task cards with your Adult ESL Beginner students to practice asking and answering questions using the present simple tense. These cards are great to use with multi level classes (as beginners’ classes tend to be). They are easy to use because I’ve done all the hard work for you. There are 2 sets of 16 cards - all with questions in the present simple tense. Set 1 has the complete question, Set 2 has gaps in the question requiring the student to create the question before asking it. In both Set 1 and Set 2 , questions 1 - 8 are easier than questions 9 -16 which include more difficult vocabulary and will be more difficult to answer. Task cards are very versatile and an be used in a variety of ways in a classroom: •To practice a grammar point/ target language that has been taught •As a warm up activity •As a review of a previous lesson •As a diagnostic tool for you •To change the pace during the lesson and get the students talking • Can be used with pairs or groups This lesson prints to A4 paper and may have some UK/Australian spelling.

Idioms for Adult ESL Learners

(0)
ESL Students find Idioms challenging. This lesson teaches 16 idioms related to feelings. As well as useful in day to day life these idioms are also particularly relevant to the speaking part of the IELTS exam. As I know teachers are super busy and may not have time for any prep, this lesson has been designed so it can be used in 3 ways: 1.No prep print and go worksheets for in class or homework A card matching activity requiring preparation – cutting up cards. laminating etc. Once done it can used again (and again) You will need 1 set of the blue cards (16 cards) and 1 set of the black cards (16 cards) for each pair of students. Used in class, this activity will generate discussion and probably laughter as they try to work out the meaning of some of these idioms. This is the best way to teach this lesson if you have the time to set it up. Mix and match– part in class with the writing activity fo homework. The writing activity can also be done orally in class.

Needs Analysis for Adult ESL Beginners

(0)
I use this lesson with a mixed ability Beginner Adult ESL class. It is an integrated reading and writing lesson on the topic of language learning needs. The concept of language learning needs is introduced by a short reading text. By using this lesson with your students you will help them to become active language learners as well as learn the language to talk about their studies in general. This will work as a Back to School activity or any other time. It will help you find out more about your students and their needs and expectations. What’s included? a reading text 3 x reading tasks of varying difficulty Vocab related to language learning Extension activities – grammar focus Completing forms Guided writing This lesson can be used in several ways: •with total beginners – supported by a lot of scaffolding by the teacher •at the beginning of the year/course to help you learn more about your students Using a Needs Analysis gives you, the teacher, an insight into what the students need to learn and how they prefer to learn. But more importantly it will help you plan appropriate and relevant lessons specifically for them. Additionally, adult students appreciate that you are taking the time to find out about them and their needs. A Needs analysis is an important tool for all student centred Adult ESL classes. At beginner level it can be a bit tricky to obtain detailed information but with this highly structured and scaffolded resource you, the teacher, will be able to gain some valuable information about your students. At the same time your students will be learning some useful language and skills. Like all my resources, this lesson is designed specifically for adults. It incorporates language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners. This resource may include some Australian/UK language and prints to A4 paper. If you want to expand on this lesson, I do have a much more difficult Intermediate level, Needs Analysis lesson , in my store. But it is quite a lot more difficult than this one.

This lesson contains 5 fun activities that are suitable for beginner or elementary Adult ESL students. Most of the activities involve speaking and listening. If students are able, most of the activities can be followed with a short writing activity and/or oral feedback to the class. I have used all these activities at some time with adult ESL students. They work for students who are migrants, refugees or international students. They are great for starting a new year or term because 1.They help students to get to know each other 2.They help you to get the know the students and also assess their level of English These activities also work at other times of the year too and are a great way to get students talking.
