A funny tense review story (reading comprehension and speaking)
This worksheet was created with intermediate+ learners in mind, perhaps a mixed-ability group (hence an extra task for fast finishers). It could be used as the first part of a task-based lesson on tenses and storytelling. I chose this text, short, yet rich in typical features of an anecdote, to become a springboard for a further discussion of spoken English grammar, reviewing present and past tenses (including past perfect) and introducing reported speech.

Prepositions of Direction
First sheet: original drawings expressing several prepositions of direction. I taught this in a yoga school, so after practicing the language we made an assault course out of blankets, mats, blocks, and chairs. I then had the students direct one another through the course.

Second sheet: A couple of homework activities, including idioms using prepositions of direction.

There's a bit of Japanese in the file as this is for Japanese students, but feel free to edit!
