Fall 2013 Beginner ESL Conversation: Week 3

by

This is week 3 of the university semester. My students are great and they are very serious about learning English.

ESL Conversations Lessons

This week our ESL class will have three main learning objectives:

  1. review and practice what we learned last week (present tense with ING verbs) and short speaking stories about feelings
  2. make short stories to describe people
  3. learn and practice using adjectives to talk about places
  4. build vocabulary with an ESL word worksheet

My students should download and print this worksheet.

Here is a quick review exercise for adjectives that end in ED and ING.
