HIGH BEGINNER TO LOW INTERMEDIATE -- LARGE NUMBERS DICTATION
Nothing fancy here, just a simple (but effective) numbers dictation. I use this a LOT. Fold the sheet in half, Student A reads to Student B, Student B writes. Then reverse. The sheets have different numbers. I chose these numbers specifically with Chinese students in mind, because in Chinese they speak each number, even the zeros. And, of course, w...

INTERMEDIATE SALON - WHAT DID YOU CALL ME? (SIMILES & METAPHORS)
Hi! This lesson facilitates understanding of similes and metaphors, then provides 3 activities for pair work to use the target language. The first activity is simile, second is metaphor. The 3rd activity may not be needed, as the first two will probably take all of an hour class period. But in the event you need a time filler, the third is there. T...

MODALS ILLUSTRATION
I created this as an illustration for a Business English lesson plan. But I thought it might also be useful as a standalone sheet for putting modals into visual context. I get the students to explain the sentences back to me so that I can check their understanding, then further check by having them give me new sentences using the target language. H...

UPPER INTERMEDIATE BUSINESS ENGLISH - GOING GLOBAL - LESSON 1 OF 2
This is the latest in my Business English series. Although I am in China, I try to make these lessons readily adaptable to other first language environments. However, this one focuses largely on modals, and modals are a tough nut to crack for most Chinese students. So this lesson is a little more "Chinese-centric" than most,but still should be adap...

INTERMEDIATE BUSINESS ENGLISH - AIR TRAVEL AND HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS - LESSON 1 OF 2
This is the next in my Business English series -- HOWEVER!! This can also be used in a NON-business teaching environment. It is focused more on the vocabulary aspect and less on the business aspect. The tie-in to a business context will come in the Part 2 of 2. That part should be ready within the next day or so. This lesson is extremely heavy on s...

VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT -- WEATHER -- TORNADOES -- PART 2 OF 2
I don�t know about other countries, but in China we foreign teachers are forevermore tasked with "English Corner" -- it tends to be an hour-long dog & pony show about pretty much anything we choose. I often use mine to teach vocabulary in context and to do cultural exchange.
