Turklish TEFL » ESL Lesson Plans Here are a collection of lesson plans that have been created with adult Turkish learners in mind although most lessons could easily be used in any country. Each lesson aims to address the unique environment of the Turkish classroom and to help with obstacles faced by many teachers here. I will try to provide lessons that will highlight features of the Turkish classroom and perhaps set a template for creating future lessons along the same lines. A lot of these lesson plans will be linked to discussions on my main blog. You can click on the link under the lesson plan to check out the blog portion.

The definite article The word "the" is one of the most common words in English. It is our only definite article. Nouns in English are preceded by the definite article when the speaker believes that the listener already knows what he is referring to. The speaker may believe this for many different reasons, some of which are listed below. When to use "the" General rules Use the to refer to something which has already been mentioned. Examples On Monday, an unarmed man stole $1,000 from the bank. Use the when you assume there is just one of something in that place, even if it has not been mentioned before. We went on a walk in the forest yesterday. Use the in sentences or clauses where you define or identify a particular person or object. The man who wrote this book is famous. Use the to refer to people or objects that are unique. The sun rose at 6:17 this morning. Use the before superlatives and ordinal numbers. This is the highest building in New York. Use the with adjectives, to refer to a whole group of people.

NALDIC | EAL News | Jump in EAL learners working at Level 2 or below in English at age 11 The latest attainment data for bilingual pupils shows little change in the gap in achievement between bilingual pupils and their English speaking peers at the end of Key Stage 2 but a marked increase in EAL learners being judged to be below Level 3 in the English assessments. This year, more than 6,000 bilingual pupils were judged to be working at Level 2 or below (B) and therefore not able to take the assessment. This is a marked increase on the previous five years in both number and percentage terms. Due to changes in the Key Stage 2 assessments for English, this year's statistics are not directly comparable with previous years, but many of the messages remain the same. 2012 Key Stage 2 results show: 76 per cent of EAL and bilingual pupils achieved the expected level in both English and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2 compared to 80 per cent of pupils whose first language is English.

English Grammar Games and Notes - Woodward English English Phrasal Verbs What is a Phrasal Verb? Phrasal verbs (also called multi-word verbs) are idiomatic expressions, combining verbs and prepositions to make new verbs whose meaning is often not obvious from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. They are widely used in both written and spoken English, and new ones are formed all the time as they are a flexible way of creating new terms. A phrasal verb consists of a verb and a preposition or adverb that modifies or changes the meaning; 'give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'stop doing' something, which is very different from 'give'. The word or words that modify a verb in this manner can also go under the name particle. Phrasal verbs can be divided into groups: Intransitive verbs These don't take an object Example: They had an argument, but they've made up now. Inseparable verbs The object must come after the particle. Example: They are looking after their grandchildren. Separable verbs In our phrasal verb list, we classify these as Separable [optional]
