A selection of English ESL question words ppt slides

As an ESL teacher, idioms are one of my favorite things to teach. In order to truly understand a language, we have to understand more than just basic grammar conjugations -  we have to know slang, jokes, idioms, and the many other things that make a language unique. If you're looking for something fun and dynamic for your next ESL class, have a look at our lesson plan Idioms Describing People.



An idiom is a unique saying or phrase made up of words that, when combined, take on a whole new meaning than the individual words within the phrase. Idioms are common and students hear them every day, but they might not understand what they mean. They are tricky but important to teach to new English learners, especially as their listening and speaking skills improve.



Idioms Describing People focuses on common idioms we use to describe people, such as “black sheep” and “gold digger”. Students will learn and practice in this exciting, teacher-led activity.



This lesson plan is perfect for teens or adults. Use it in your next online or traditional, screen-enabled ESL class! Students love learning idioms and after this lesson, your students are guaranteed to feel more fluent than ever!

Idioms Describing People - ESL/ELL Lesson Plan

This is a PPT I used in front of 3000 Chinese students (hence the Chinese script on some slides)  to give them some idea about Christmas. I wanted to show them that despite race, culture, colour or creed all kids all over the world love the idea of Santa and his big red hat. Its one thing that brings us all together during December. I purchased 20 santa hats (cheap here in China) and during the presentation I handed them out to students who could shout the verses out or answer some questions about the pictures. 



Santa's Big Red Hat

It is a useful PPT for kids. It is designed so they can learn new words and introduce them to the magic world of READING.

First the kids have to know the vocabulary displayed at the beginning and then, they will try to read the story or the sentences with the teacher's help. It has questions at the end of the story to follow the sequence and to know what words they learned. It also has great pictures to make this worksheet funnier! I hope u like it!!!

This ppt is about communication. Students are asked to do a brainstorm with the word ''comunication'' after that they are going to watch two videos ( a video about a shark attack and antoher about learning English) they have to answer some questions about them.

Knock Knock

This Conversation PowerPoint presentation is a Conversation lesson at school for primary school pupils. This work consist of some school related vocabulary words such as school, office building, library, canteen, pool, playground etc. It also consist of a brief conversation dialogue between students and 8 basic questions about places in school and their functions. 

The students will also have a short quiz to answer some Wh words questions.

Conversation at School

Students often find prefixes quite daunting and sifting through prefix tables can be a tad toilsome. This PowerPoint on lifestyles, serves to break down some of those fears, whilst presenting them in an engaging way. It is aimed at intermediate and higher level students, who have had exposure to prefixes but need more practise with the language.



Furthermore, it highlights some basic concepts of the target language in a controlled way, whilst giving students ample speaking practise.



This is a bottom-up approach, whereby students can focus on some simple rules before communicating. They have a chance to provide answers through elicitation before one or two engaging lead-in questions.
