A selection of English ESL ielts ppt slides

The ppt presentation gives a clear idea of what IELTS Task 2 is. The language learners will be able to see detailed structures for 5 different types of essays.

Good luck!

This is my first ppt concerning IELTS speaking part 1, it includes a couple of general tips and also deals with the topic of family.



It starts off with a list of a few topics students will likely have to talk about in part 1. I have other ppts for these topics.



Next is a do or don't game where students decide what is good be behaviour for the exam, feel free to add more general things like smile etc :). I find that this works well with some example answers from another worksheet.



The family section starts with a table, have the students fill it out and then compare with their neighbours. Ask the students to define the words above the table and use a few in their descriptions.



Next is a skeleton answer. Students must construct an answer to the question using some of the points, but not all. They should also use the phrases on the right to add extra information to the points. Answers may vary but the aim is to ensure answers flow nicely and don't include anything unnecessary.



The next slide is an extension of the vocabulary from the first family slide. I recommend you go through them and ask individuals to make new sentences with the underlined phrases to show they know it.



Slide 7 is a selection of family questions from pat IELTS tests to give your students an authentic style test.



Slide 8 is an activity style I like to do often for IELTS where students must imagine something different from their real life and give answers based on that. Ask the students to choose a family picture and answer the questions from the previous slide in a new way.



Finally, there is a quick question slide with topics that you give at random to students for them to create questions on new topics, it is useful to test students on their quick responses.

IELTS speaking: describing and family

This is a fairly comprehensive ppt helping students prepare for part 3 questions that require comparing two things.



The first two slides are introductions to phrases used for comparing and a basic refresher on how to turn regular adjectives into comparative or superlative ones.



Slide 4 is a free practise task where students have to compare things using the prompt words.



5 and 6 are more ielts focused with a quick brainstorming tasks where students must quickly come up with comparisons and then some actual IELTS questions, taken from past exams.

IELTS Speaking part 2: Sequencing

This short IELTS practise ppt is part of my series covering speaking tasks. It is mainly about describing and giving personal information for part 1 answers. 



It does not include much preparatory vocabulary and so it requires the teaching of home vocabulary and a basic introduction to IELTS speaking to be done beforehand. Please refer to my other ppts for these.



The first slide is a simple information sheet, students fill them out and ask each other simple questions in pairs to compare their information with each other.



The second activity: for small groups, is a vocabulary exercise where the students draw and label their homes and then help each other to complete the labelling with words they don't know.



The third slide: individual students and then pairs, is a good opportunity to test students on their knowledge of adjectives nouns and verbs. It is an answer shell where the students reference the complete answer and use their own homes to complete a lengthy description. Then students read and compare their answers.



Finally, there is a selection of questions from past IELTS exams covering the topic of home for the students to answer.

IELTS speaking part 1: Home

A powerpoint aimed at making students practise organising their long answers.



The first three slides are a demonstration of a sample answer with example points. It is important to tell the students that they need to think of more than the four points they are given. 

WHO

WHERE

WHY

WHEN

WHAT

WHICH

Are good prompts for adding more information.



Also, discuss the difference between part 2 questions that need a NARRATIVE answer in chronological order and those that need a DESCRIPTION. Some answers mix both types.



Slides 5 and 6 are two questions with picture and question prompts. 5 needs the students to order the questions and imagine an answer for each that creates the best narration and description of the problem and item.



The 6th slide is a simple narration, arrange the pictures into what you think its the right order and describe the key events of the meal.



7 - 9 are sample questions. Distribute them among students and have them critique each other's answer plans.
