A to Z Earth and Space Alphabet - PowerPoint and Display Teaching Resource

(0)
I find teaching with an alphabet theme works well for all sorts of topics. I could not find one which helped me to teach about space, so I made my own. If you print it out, it will help with both space, spellings and the alphabet all at once. The images are stunning and it will brighten up any classroom! You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different space objects being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about the A to Z Earth and Space Alphabet. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different space features. The students can then discuss what they think each one is. Could students create their own versions of the A to Z Earth and Space Alphabet? The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

A fun way of teaching Spanish numbers during Halloween. I have added some Halloween Themed worksheets - I gave the words in English - what are they in Spanish? A great translation task.

Christmas Entry Level Grammar Book 101 worksheets for English lessons featuring Essential English

Christmas Entry Level Grammar Book 101 worksheets for English lessons featuring Essential English

(0)
The book is divided into four parts and is graded in difficulty, so that it begins with some basic stuff and builds up to more challenging grammar activities. It features a selection of Essential English worksheets which provide practice for crucial basic areas of knowledge for learners at Entry Level, like using numbers, writing the alphabet, spelling days and months correctly, and so on. I wanted to create a Grammar book on a Christmas theme. Every page contains images of Christmas, Winter and Santa to help them feel they are working on a more festive worksheet. It’s jam-packed from cover to cover with a great selection of photocopiable worksheets taken from the popular website. We wanted to provide teachers with a really useful book of no-nonsense grammar worksheets that they can dip into and use in class with students at Entry Level (ESOL Core Curriculum Entry Levels 1 & 2). It is also ideal for students to work with at home since the answers are all printed at the back. It would also make excellent Holiday Homework for students and parents!

Talk a Lot - Spoken English Course - A Great New Way to Learn Spoken English. The units are: Learning English, Films, Hospital, Books, Airport, Money, Places in the UK, Politics, Internet, and Australia. Elementary Book 3 • Complete 12-week spoken English course • 300+ hours of learning materials – with full answers • Brand new and unique learning method • Learn and recall questions, answers and negatives using 8 common verb forms • Learn 400+ essential vocabulary words • 100% photocopiable This book is called Talk a Lot Elementary Book 3, but the skill range is fairly wide, including students at all levels between Elementary (CEF Level A2) to Pre-Intermediate (CEF Level B1). This means that the course is suitable for students studying for the Cambridge KET or PET examinations. Of course, teachers know the level of their students and will use the materials in accordance with what the students are able to (and want to) do. The verb tenses that are covered should be studied by all students at these levels, and the vocabulary words should be generally useful to students from Elementary upwards. However, some of the units may pose more of a challenge to true Elementary learners, because the vocabulary may be less familiar, e.g. Places in the UK and Australia. Similarly, some of the activities are more suitable for students at Pre-Intermediate level than Elementary, such as the Multi-Purpose Texts and Role Plays (although the teacher could adapt the role play situations for lower level students by simplifying them). As before, the aim of this book is to teach students to think in English and Talk a Lot! 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, intonation, 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
