This was 6 hours work for my CLIL class of international students. An introduction to the concept of formal and informal language as well as activities for identifying and using the correct register. An introduction to entrepreneurs and USPs. Vocab and worksheet to help analyse a Dragon’s Den pitch, and then some guidance on creating their own pitch.

I made this PPT for classes I was teaching as CLIL for international students. There are elements of reading and listening comprehension.

A gapfill for the Monkey Puzzle Song by Julia Donaldson on YouTube. The missing words are available in a box with a picture prompt for differentiated support. There is also a worksheet for Makaton signs for animals from the story. This took my class a full hour. We listened to the song to enjoy it. Then we listened twice to do the gapfill. Then we read through the song lyrics in feedback to check our answers. Then we sang the song two times - trying with actions the second time! Then we discussed what Makaton was and made the signs and guessed which animals from the story they could be. Then the students drew their own pictures of the animals next to the signs.

A guide which helps break down the PET Writing mark scheme making it easier for students to self-mark or peer assess, help new teachers to the Preliminary course or just help teachers speed up their marking and simplify their feedback. Focusing only on Email and Article - not the story. Designed for the post-2020 updated course.

A student sits with their back to the board. A word appears on the board behind them. The members of their team can each give a one-word clue to help the student guess the word behind them.

The students must read the word and decide if it is a real or alien word. On the back there is a picture task to challenge stronger students to develop sentence level writing or to review target language for weaker students. A good worksheet for low level young learners, can be used as a homework or for independent application of phonics, new vocabulary etc.

An engaging PPT to help students identify good presentation skills. There are some slides at the end to help students think of an idea for creating their own TED Talk. This lesson was given after the students had already watched and understood a TED Talk.

A simple worksheet to help Ss identify informal/formal linking words. Categorise their function and then apply to some gap-fill sentences. Ss can then use this knowledge to try to write some of their own sentences using informal linking words in open practice.

PPT - A lesson designed for an interactive communicative lesson with EAL learners teaching them to give their opinion. No printing required, all that would be helpful is if the students had paper and pen for recording some phrases. Designed for low level Teen learners. Could be good preparation for the Cambridge KEY (KET) or PRELIMINARY (PET) Speaking tests. Activity Sheet - To help play a fun game in the style of Would I Like To You/Unpopular Opinions. Ss write their own opinion and then T either gives them back the real opinion or the fake opinion and they have to try and convince the others in the class that they are telling the truth.

A simple blank fact file to guide students to find important and useful information about the four different countries of the UK.

An engaging PPT designed to cover 6 x 1 hour lessons with a group of international students being taught subject support to assist them with their Business skills. Notes and answers have been added to the slides to help T where necessary. The lessons include a variety of speaking, writing, and grammar tasks using a variety of independent, pair and group work. The lessons are designed to get students understanding critical thining and how to think critically about different things and develop their problem solving skills teaching them to think ‘outside the box’. The grammar focus for these lessons is on the first conditional. There is a final project for the students to apply their learning.

A PPT lesson guiding students through what a relative clause is, creating relative clauses, and how to use them to good effect in creative writing. This took my international students 2 x 1 hour lessons, but for native speaking students it may be a bit lesson, but could easily be two lessons with peer reviewing of creative writing and feedback etc.

Designed for international students studying BEC/Business English/Business CLIL, ideally B1-B2 level, although could go a little either side. Could also be useful for an introduction to Business Studies for younger students. Guides students through 6 hour lessons of tasks getting them to practice language needed for analysing and describing graphs, analysing graphs, comparatives and superlatives, quantifiers, writing, listening, speaking… Please check the notes as there may be some useful links in there.

A PPT guide for about 2/3 hours worth of classes on showing not telling in writing, making inferences when reading and how to write a PEEZL (could be adapted to just PEEL or PEE paragraphs) paragraph.
