It's a powerpoint presentation which introduces some vocabulary related to personality adjectives with clear-cut examples. It includes pictures with words and their respective definitions. Very useful as a lead-in for this kind of topic. I hope you like it. :)

Personality adjectives presentation

It is a powerpoint presentation in the form of a grammar guide. It provides 3 columns for the 3 prepositions IN, ON, AT respectively and the phrases they are used with.



IN is bigger than the others, as it is used with phrases that cover the longest periods of time. AT is the smallest as it is used with specific times. Hence the shortest periods of time.

in on at (time)

A presentation which allows students to have a better understanding of the use of comparatives, with the respective rules, examples and some exercises. Good for intermediate students.

This powerpoint was designed for Chinese primary school students.  Touches on different adjectives to describe the natural world, like the highest mountains, longest rivers, etc and helps students place each location in its respective continent.  At the end is a multiple choice review game.

Classroom Rules

A short vision on how Christmas is celebrated around the world. The powerpoint is divided into continents and inside of each continent there are different countries and their respective traditions. The information was taken from other powerpoints on the net and my personal research about the topic.  This can be adapted as a warm-up activity and can be used for ESL students.

Christmas around the world

This presentation presents the opportunity for the students and teachers to learn and teach respectively with Adverbs of Frequency and Household Chores for improvement in vocabulary and speaking.

Adverbs of Frequency and Household Chores

This PowerPoint presentation is designed to help learners of English expand their vocabulary related to transportation. It includes various types of vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, trains, MRT systems, boats, airplanes, helicopters, ships, and more. The presentation also introduces the sentence pattern that is commonly used to talk about modes of transportation. For example, the question "How do you go to school?" can be answered with "I go to school on foot," "We go to school by bicycle," or "He goes to school by scooter," and so on. 

In addition to learning new vocabulary and sentence patterns, learners can engage in various activities to reinforce their understanding. There are picture matching games where they can match the pictures with their respective names and numbers. There are also activities where learners need to look at the picture of a certain mode of transportation and write its name. Moreover, learners can improve their critical thinking skills by finding hidden names of transport in a table. 

This PowerPoint presentation is a fun and engaging resource for learners who want to improve their English language skills while learning about the various modes of transportation.

Grammar Tutorial - Past Simple - Positive/ Negative/ Questions

Warning: there are two pairs of words that have profanities. Simply delete those slides if you need to be wary of profanity in the classroom. Also, the video on the first slide is completely optional



Objective:

I typically use this in a lesson on pronunciation, particularly for Spanish speakers (though it can be adapted and work well with proper knowledge of the learner's L1 phonology). The purpose of this particular game is to help learners distinguish vowels not present in their L1 (e.g /ɪ/ vs /i/, aka "short 'i' vs long 'i'"; /ʌ/ vs /a/, or " 'uh' vs ah' "). Included is a list of minimal pairs using such vowels. 

I have used this activity with great response from learners of all levels, but be mindful that it can be a bit trickier to explain these pronunciation differences to a younger learner. Always be adaptable to your learner's abilities and needs!



HOW TO PLAY:

*Can be adapted for any class size—even individual lessons (simply print the pages out instead of using the powerpoint).



Split the class into two groups. Have them form a line, rotating the person at the front to the back after each turn. Keep score, if you'd like.



Give each learner at the front of their respective line a fly swatter (or any object that won't damage a projector screen/white board. even hands work. the fly swatter is just a novelty).



As the instructor, stand at the back of the classroom and clearly say one of either word. The first person to slap the correct word gets the point. Rotate learners until the word list is finished.



Note: this is not an original idea. I learned this activity through working with Bonnie Blakey of SBCC—all credit is due to her. I simply created my own list of words and powerpoint.
