France



Born in the United States, I taught in France for over 40 years (plus many summers in Britain and the U.S.). I taught English primarily to young adults at University level, but I have also taught French secondary school pupils, business people, teachers, prison inmates, and drug addicts. My students have come from 93 countries around the world.

Do, Go, or Play Sports?
Which verbs are used with which sports? You "do" karate, "play" volleyball, and "go" swimming. With this rather comprehensive list of 80 sports (which you can easily make smaller!), students have to write each sport in the correct column.

Down in Australia
The Sydney Olympics were a long time ago, but matching these stupid questions from visitors with the sarcastic answers can be fun. (Students can provide their own answers where none are provided.) As a follow-up, students can work in pairs or small groups to make up stupid questions about their country, e.g. What time does the Bastille prison open...

Earth Idioms
This list of idioms appeared in "The English Teaching Forum," but I took the liberty of making an exercise out of it and adding a picture. I used the font Garamond, but you may change this to ensure that everything fits onto one page.

Elephant Orphanage
This 12-minute video news report about an elephant orphanage in Africa and the woman who has devoted her life to saving elephants is always a favorite of my students (intermediate and above).

Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto
Certainly one of Elvis Presley�s most moving songs. There are 2 worksheets here. The first one is a gapped text (interesting to let the students predict the missing words before listening), and then an updated grammar exercise where the students have to supply the correct simple past verbs in a prose summary of the story. There is also an answer...
