Mats in various formats for teachers who have EAL students in their class. Some of these I have uploaded previously - on here they are updated.

Hope these are useful!

30 slides with brain teasers, hidden words, quiz activities.... things you may find useful for tutor period or as lesson starters to get those brains in gear.

On slides where the animations don't come in, answers are on the notes section at the bottom of the slide.

There are two sets of 11 boxes with a short paragraph. In pairs, the students discuss which of each pair is the best paragraph and why. They can 'mix and match' and create their own version. Next, they match the 11 paragraphs up to the pictures and put them in sequence to tell the basic storyline. I have taken the box layout and pictures from the internet.
