ways to finish a lesson – so that the students take something away with them | TeachingEnglishNotes There are lots of ways to start off a lesson beautifully, maningfully, logically, etc. For example, to talk about how your students spent their week (here are 2 worksheets to help), or to ask about their plans, or to discuss the weather/ news, or to remember vocabulary from the previous lesson in some creative way, or to revise some grammar, like here or here, or….well, the list is almost inexhaustible, as I am sure you know). But how do we finish a lesson? “the homework is on page 5, thanks, see you on Wednesday”? Well, it’s possible and it happens all the time. My favourite (and the most logical) thing to do before you let your students go is to revisit your notes and to establish a kind of connections betwen different parts of a lesson. It works well because: Another nice (a bit NLP-style) way is to ask your student(s) what they consider was the mostinterestingusefulsurprisingboring… (any other adjective you think appropriate) thing during the lesson. This works well because Like this:
Pronouns : Concise ESL Support : ESL/EAL Resources : Write Site : Athabasca University When using pronouns, use them only after the noun to which they refer has been clearly identified. Often when we write, we are so familiar with our subject that we forget that the reader may not know who, or what the subject is. "He gave them to her," seems to be a good sentence; unfortunately we do not know what any of the pronouns refer to. Personal Pronouns In English, personal pronouns are the one area of grammar where it is necessary to pay attention to case, that is, whether something is a subject, object or possessive. Relative Pronouns The main problem with relative pronouns is distinguishing between who and whom.
ESL Jeopardy: How to play this staple of the TEFL classroom ESL Jeopardy is a version of the popular board game. It’s a fun and easy to play quiz game, and it’s great for reviewing vocabulary and certain grammar forms. It ranks alongside Taboo as one of the most played games in the TEFL classroom. It’s a great way to round off the week or to save for the last day of the course. You will need five separate categories of questions and for each category five or six questions ranging in difficulty from easy ($100) to difficult ($600). First, draw the Jeopardy grid on the board as in the above diagram. See below, for several sets of pre-written Jeopardy questions which you can use to play this game. Split students into teams of three or four, with two or three teams being optimal. The first team starts and chooses a category and an amount, depending on how confident they are in being able to answer the question. If the team answers incorrectly, the square stays open and another team or the same team can attempt to answer it in a later round. Related
