The Three Main English Auxiliary Verbs
I was looking for something simple like this, and when I couldn�t find anything, I made this one-page overview of the three main auxiliary verbs for a student who had difficulty remembering when to use these forms. I have found it very useful since then for explaining the formation of questions, and teaching the structure of the continuous and perf...

Parts of Speech "Runners" Game
I use this as a simple reinforcement activity when students are learning to distinguish the various parts of speech. It�s fun and gets them up and moving, and engaged with the language.

Spelling Cheatsheet - Verb Terminations
I use this sheet to help students (at beginner and intermediate levels) remember the complicated rules of English for verb terminations. It�s nice to have a one-page reference to give them. It needs careful explanation, and I usually hand it out as a reference after lots of boardwork.

Past and Present Tenses - Timeslines Worksheet
I created this worksheet to give students some practice in forming correct sentences using the main past and present verb tenses. I use it together with a companion document that shows example sentences and timelines. I find it a useful exercise to have students complete this worksheet AND draw a timeline to show that they understand the use of a v...

Spelling Cheatsheet - Countable Noun Pluralization
I made this one-page summary of spelling rules for countable noun pluralization for beginning students. Useful handout, as this subject seems to need lots of reinforcement.

Frequency Adverbs for Cline Activity
These large cut-out words can be printed and laminated, for use with a temperature cline to illustrate order of common adverbs of frequency. You can have students arrange them on a table top, or attach them to the whiteboard with tape or magnets. Great kinaesthetic activity to get SS up and moving around when class energy lags. Hope you enjoy :-)

Kanye West, Fur Coats & PETA - A Reading Lesson
This is a reading activity for intermediate and advanced students. It�s about a controversial subject and it contains one shocking photograph, so it�s not appropriate for younger students. Good for generating lively discussion, though. Let me know how it works for you.
