A selection of English ESL french ppt slides

This is a powerpoint presentation that I made for my French students aged 11-12 but it can be used for beginners and elementary level. 

It presents each section clearly starting with the days of the week and continuing with the months of the year and the ordinal numbers.

Days-Months-Ordinal Numbers

This powerpoint is designed to teach beginners the alphabet and the pronunciation of the letters as well as some phonetics signs.



It draws a link between the pronunciation of colours  and the pronunciation of letters to help the pupils remember that they are pronunced with the same sound. (see my ppt What colour is it?)



I usually have my pupils copy the grid on their copybook, colours included. The last 3 slides show letters randomly to enable the pupils to practice and check they know their alphabet.

The Alphabet

An introduction to school vocabulary used in conjunction with the conditional. I've used this with French ESL learners (14-15 yrs. old who have had problems with the traditional school system) to do a short lesson on Jamie Oliver's "Dream School." Their final project is to create their own dream school and present it to the class.

Dream School Intro Vocab

A ppt to encourage French ESL students to speak about their holidays.

Easy 1st lesson for pre-intermediate to revise simple past. The aim is for them to be able to speak about their holidays in a simple way. Then we move on from here to more elaborate requirements.

Welcome back! What did you do for the holidays?

Each slide shows a tweet or piece of text written by Trump or his administration. Students must correct his spelling mistakes. Best for French learners of English because one spelling mistake is a French name. But this slide can be deleted in the download.

Correct the American president's spelling mistakes

ppt game. Practise questions in the past. (when was he born? when did he die? who killed his father? ...)



Students do not need to know the life of William Wallace as they need to find the questions, not the answers. 



I organize the class in two teams. Students must take turns to give answers but can speak with their team members. Answers must also be written on a small white board that I provide the teams. 



(PS for French teachers : I use it as an extra exercise after the exercises given in the French ESL course book: New Live 3eme)

Jeopardy: William Wallace

A fun activity for young students. 

It is can be used to introduce simple comparatives. Students will have to make a sentence using the adjective on the slide.

Hope your students enjoy!!!



Comparative degree

This interactive PPt game was initially created for lexical drilling for the textbook "Go Getter level 1" (the vocab includes Spain/Spanish, Italy/Italian/, France/French, Poland/Polish, the Uk/British, the USA/American, China/Chinese

I'll be pleased if you can use this for ELT lessons!

Have fun!
