            Halloween Pictionary (Intermediate) 
            
            A set of Pictionary/Charades cards for the more advanced students!  Instead of just the obvious Halloween words, there are phrases, names, and titles.  Categories:  TV&Movies, Costumes (that were popular in 2011 and 2012), Villains, Activities, and Things to Avoid.  16 cards per category.  They can certainly be improved upon in terms of appearance ...

            3 Clues Card Game 
            
            This is a great game to elicit vocabulary and practice speaking and listening. In small groups, students take turns taking a card at random from a stack and reading aloud the clues, one by one. After each clue, the other students have a chance to guess which word is on the card. The student who guesses correctly gets the card.  The student with the...

            15 Basic Idioms 
            
            This is handy if you want to introduce some often-used idioms to your students, but don�t have enough time to introduce a lot of them.  The set includes a 2-part worksheet (paper size B4), a study sheet for the students (A4), a quiz (B5), and answer keys for the WS and quiz.  For the WS, students try to figure out the definitions of the idioms by l...

            Write About Yourself 
            
            This is a great way to either cap off a year of grammar (as an overall review) or begin a new year (as a refresher of last year�s grammar).  Students first try to think of as many words as possible that are related to themselves (p.3).  Then, they convert those words into full-on sentences, which they write into the boxes on the "Sentences About Me...

            Oral History Project 
            
            This project lets students tell and record their own stories (or that of a family member.) First, the teacher plays a clip featuring a short oral history (I�m planning to use the intro segment of the "First Day" episode of "This American Life". You can listen to and download episodes from their website or via iTunes. Another good source for persona...

            Creating an Oral History 
            
            I�m planning to have my students record oral histories, i.e., either their own story or a family member�s story. (Normally, this would be done in the form of an interview, but I�m going to have them use a storytelling style instead.)  This handout introduces "oral history"--what it is, what questions to answer in order to tell one, and how to begin...

            "My Radio Show" Project 
            
            This is a great project for generating creativity, using a variety of learned English, and possibly giving shy students a chance to present without as much pressure.  In groups, students think of an idea for a radio show or commercial. Then, they write a script (first and final draft).  Last, they record.  In my case, our school has a computer lab ...

            Think & Discuss: The Radio 
            
            This WS is a warm-up to a project in which students will make their own radio shows.  For this activity, students answer questions such as, "How often do you listen to the radio?" and "What programs do you listen to?" and "What are the differences between TV and radio?"  Then, students discuss in groups, and at the end, share with the class.

            Radio Vocabulary  
            
            Students are introduced to 40 words related to the radio. They write the definitions in their own language. Then, they do a fill-in-the-blank practice. (I�m using this as part of a project in which my students will make their own radio shows and commercials. Please check out other related worksheets.)

            If you teach in/near Osaka, Japan, why not go on a class field trip to the Nissin Instant Ramen Museum? Students learn about the history of instant ramen and answer questions on this worksheet. (If you book in advance, you can also have your students make their own packets of instant ramen for free.)  Even if you don�t live near Osaka, the museum�s...
