To help you learn the English material we studied in English class, I prepared a study
This is a 15 to 20 minute group work fluency exercise. Each person is one character. There are 12 characters in the game. If you have a large class, consider splitting the class into smaller groups. If you have fewer than 12 students the first 8 characters are essential for the game.
Print enough character cards for the students in your class. Hand out one character card per student. Give students time to read their character card and ask questions.
The character roles are here: esl-murder-mystery-game.
Read the information about your character. Move around the class and talk to the other characters. Your objective is to find out who killed the English teacher. The answer might not be so obvious so you will have to put together some clues.
It’s week 12 of the semester for my English students. The semester is quickly coming to a close so my students need to work to concentrate on the English exercises and learn the ESL lesson material.
This pair work worksheet is a list of topics. One partner chooses a topic. The other student says a list of things related to topic. Each person gets 60 second to speak. Keep a total of the answers. The winner is the person with the most answers.
