A selection of English ESL english words ppt slides

essentially you see three versions of each slide.  The first is three words, then the same three words with pictures, finally the word that doesn't fit into the group to which the other three belong is circled.  The students are prompted to speak sentences following this structure: "A is not a B"  example: [cat, dog, mouse, Thursday]  "Thursday is not an animal"



There are, naturally, many other ways to group some of the slides so when the student comes up with another creative grouping I give bonus points to their group.  I've very proud of this lesson, it is super fun to teach.  I hope it helps you all. 

Which one doesn't belong?

This PowerPoint is about clothes and this includes t-shirt, scarf, trousers, shorts, dress, skirt, shirt, shoes, boots, belt, cap, hat, sweater and a jacket it also includes a formal conversation about clothes.

The Clothes We Wear

Students have to complete the words according to the letters they have and the number of blank spaces. When they complete all the words, they have to relate the word to the correct picture by numbering it. This file has two levels of difficulty.

Plants - complete the gaps

A powerpoint game for beginners. 

Students can choose levels easy, medium or hard. They then choose a number. Click the number to reveal a category. They have 5, 10 or 15 seconds on the timer to name 5 words from the category. 

5 seconds categories

No, I am not an Arab. And it is not about the witches of Macbeth or any other. I'm simply fascinated with 1001 nights' tales. Students just read the story but ... the 'but' is they need to say some words as they see the pictures rather than read. The moment they get to the gap you click and the picture appears. (Be careful: The 'king' is quite tall, so there seem to be gaps where there is no word missing in fact. )

Hope this should make the students think in English.

Some troublesome vocab I explained in Polish, but you may easily rub this out. Wonder how you liked it.

 A tale of 1001 nights 3 Sisters

A short presentation about Mexico. It contains several facts about the country such as geography, nature, animals, food and so on. Use it to introduce the country to your students and encourage them to discuss the facts.



I also made a vocabulary worksheet with unscrambling and word searching activities for this lesson: https://en.islcollective.com/english-esl-worksheets/grammar/nouns/mexico-vocabulary-practice/141933



ENJOY!

This Power Point is to introduce some Christmas words to beginners in the Japanese junior high school level. I also made a scramble worksheet so the students can practice spelling.

Christmas introduction words ESL

The students should answer question about a woman and a man his and her personal information fron a card, afterwards answer somw questions in short form of verb tobe.

Personal information

Prompts through pictures (change them if you needs) and language requirements. Can be used as a resource  to stimulates ideas, thinking  and discussion before leading into writing - usually a 200 word limit / 15 minute max. Good for freer writing and expression,  reer review, WWW (what went well) and EBI (even better if...) to focus on the positive. Can be adapted to all levels but if you are restricted by the demands of an exam, this allows the students the opportunity to explore imagination and is much more enjoyable as an occasional activity.
