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.

I use this lesson with a mixed ability beginner Adult ESL Class. It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of life experiences and the use of the present perfect tense.

This integrated reading and speaking resource is based on the topic of goal setting. It is designed for Intermediate level Adult ESL/EAL students. It can be used during back-to-school time, at the start of a new course, at new year. There is enough material for at least 3 lessons and as well as an in-depth look into goals, there is also material on overcoming, obstacles, dealing with distractions and time management. Goal setting is an important and popular topic for Adult ESL classes. Most adult ESL students will come to class with a goal which is often something long term and not very specific such as “improve my English”, “Get a job” or “go to university” . But apart from attending a class they haven’t really thought about how they will get there. This resource will help them break down their long-term goals into smaller more achievable goals that will help to keep them motivated. Because adult ESL students often have other commitments such as part time work, or family responsibilities they face a lot of obstacles. This resource addresses those challenges to ensure the students success. Topic related vocabulary, developing reading skills and lots of speaking/discussion opportunities are embedded in these lessons. In this resource you will find 11 varied Activities that include: 3 x reading texts and comprehension activities. 4 x Vocabulary Activities 5 x graphic organisers Teachers’ notes Answer keys For more details of what’s included refer to the thumbnail for a list of contents.

This lesson is designed for Adult ESL Students at high beginner or pre intermediate levels. It will work well with a mixed ability/level class and there are opportunities for differentiation. It is a complete lesson (maybe 2) on the topic of Global Warming and an introduction to Conditionals (zero form). It includes Reading, Writing ,Listening and Speaking activities. Conditionals not usually included in Beginner’s courses because it is quite complex. This lesson will be challenging for most Beginners as it also includes some complex vocabulary There is a deliberate repetition of sentences in the activities to keep this simpler for beginners . I have also kept the vocabulary level simple and relevant to beginner Adult ESL students. Most of the activities are quite structured, self explanatory and build on each other so they are best done in order. The activities could be done orally in pairs first, if that works for your students. You can structure the activities as much or as little as your students need. A detailed lesson plan and answers are provided This lesson aims to provide students with the functional language to talk about global warming and express something which is always true if the condition in the sentence is met. The lesson is based on a dialogue that introduces some vocabulary about global warming demonstrates the use of the zero conditonal form It covers a lot of other elementary language and language skills: Reading and understanding simple texts. Zero conditional – for general truths Vocabulary of global warming and general life situations. Completing a cloze activity Sentence matching and sentence completion. Question forms – What do you do if…? Speaking/Listening practice – asking and answering questions. Writing simple sentences 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.
