A panoply of teaching resources.
The Winter Camp class is here and the students are hoping to learn English. This class is a listening class. We will try to develop listening through speaking.
Lesson 1: Panada and Bamboo
Lesson 2: Optimisim
Lesson 3: Text Message Birthday
My ESL students have been busy learning English as they prepare for the mid term exams, which come next week. Here are three short ESL speaking activities to help my students improve their English and have a little fun.
This worksheet helps students become aware of words with V sounds. The worksheet questions have rhymes, general knowledge questions and two brain teasers.
The ESL conversation worksheet is here.
Here are two videos which can help students improve listening skills and have a little fun in class.
1. Talking Dog
Watch and listen to the video. The man tells the dog about many kinds of food.
What food does the man talk about?
2. Breakfast Table
Watch the video. Make a list of the breakfast food and drinks you see. Don’t forget to add countable nouns when needed. My list has 16 different kinds of food and drink. How many can you get?
The ESL video is here.
I don’t know what to think of this ESL listening video. It’s not a highly educational lesson, though it does teach ESL listening students how to hear and pronounce a single word.
The video does have great style: think Japanese punk fused with cool animation and a single thought. Definitely, a 1 minute diversion for the English class when you need a break from other listening skills activities. Think Friday afternoon fun.
