            Halloween Oh Boy! 
            
            Fall is coming, and that means that a favorite children�s holiday is almost here. This worksheet gives students some basic Halloween vocabulary. The lesson can be broadened to include a Youtube video on how to make a Jack o� Lantern. Students can discuss holidays in their countries that might be similar to Halloween.

            What are they saying??!!! 
            
            Students often are perplexed about why what Americans are saying sounds so different from what they are learning in their ESL classes. Here is a two-page exercise which helps to familiarize students with the way Americans run words together in informal speech.
