Get here and you are ready to study in English at university

This is an interactive powerpoint presentation on  past continuous. The students have to say what they were doing when they were painted. I hope is useful for you.

AT THE MUSEUM PPT

After pre teaching was & were I used this ppt for revision. When the picture comes on it lasts for 30 seconds then disappears. In groups of 3-4 students they look and remember what they saw, then as a group they write down what they remember using was and were. The picture is shown on the next slide for checking before going onto another picture. Hope you like it.

Describing Pictures with Was & Were

Ppt - 10 slides. A good way to study the past continuous tense. People explain what they were doing when the ship hit the iceberg.

The past continuous tense with Titanic

Students read about countries. They write about a holiday they take to the country with what they see, eat, and do. They draw photographs from their holiday of where they were. They must dress up a paper man in the local clothes, make the country's flag, and cut out the country outline. All of this can be put on a poster board and presented at the end of class. 

Countries Holiday Project

Alibi is a role play where some students are accused of a crime and must make up their own story for what they were doing in teams. The rest of the class become the police and interrogate them.
Let students explore their roles and have fun.

Alibi, role play

This is a powerpoint to practice telling the time. There are many clocks showing different times. Children have to tell what time it is and then they can check if the answer is correct by clicking below the clock.

There is a second part were children are asked questions about their daily rountines: get up, start school, have lunch, etc. and the time they do these things.

What's the time?

This powerpoint presentation talks about wishes and imaginary situations. 

In the imaginary situations students have to answer questions about it, for example " If you were a billionaire what would you do''?

The students are going to watch a video from Disney´s Aladdin and they have to identify what wishes the Genie can´t accept, after that they have to say their wishes: "The Genie can grant you 3 wishes.

What are your three wishes?"



Talking about wishes and imaginary situations

These slides were made for students to practice talking about their future plans, what they want to do, what they wish to see. 



Another purpose of this Powerpoint is that students get to share their ideas and opinions with their friends about what matters, whether it be about themselves or society, so you can find a tint of social issue conversation their.



In this activity, I made students pair up or make a group of three. Teachers need to make sure to encourage follow-up questions so they can discuss reasons and alternatives too. 



They really liked it. 

Future plan: Speaking activity 

This is a ppt presentation of the more basic prepositions of place. First there's a link to a youtube video clip on prepositions - it's a song and my kids love it so they always sing along. Then pictures lead you through the prepositions we learn and what follows is a simple exercises - learners look at the picture and in pairs discuss what the solution might be, then you show them and they vote whether they were right or wrong. At the end there's a map of a town and the teacher asks questions about certain buildings and learners answer. We do this after we've learnt buildings.

WHERE IS IT? 

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. I felt the need to create this presentation as I saw that my IELTS students were struggling to have a clear understanding of what steps they should take while doing IELTS Task 2. 

I hope everyone who gets an access to this presentation will find it highly useful. 

Good luck! 





Ielts writing task 2

A PowerPoint presentation to teach and practise USED TO.



First, students have to answer the questions 'What sport did you play when you were a little child?' and 'What didn’t you like doing when you were a child?". The next two slides show MY answers to these questions and the ways they can be answered (with the help of Past Simple and Used to). You can edit it sharing YOUR own experience.



After this short lead-in, the grammar forms of used to are demonstrated in the table. Then students have to say whether the statements given are true for them using the positive and negative form of used to. The next slide shows three statements about ME (make sentences about YOUR childhood if it differs from mine :D ). Two of them are true and one is false. Students have to guess which one is the false one. After that they make their own three statements where one is incorrect.



The next step is drilling the question form using the ideas on the slide or giving their own examples.



The last task aims at contrasting used to and present simple. Students describe two pictures (taken from the textbook English File Pre-Intermediate) comparing what the people used to be/do and what they are like and do now.



Used to

This is a powerpoint about passports. It is about an English passport but can be changed to suit your country. 

It has a writing activity in it where SS have to answer the questions.

It also has a section for SS to say what is wrong with the example sections

It has an example of a British passport- with this you can ask the SS questions such as 'What is her surname?' etc

Where it says speaking activity you can do what you like- I did a paired activity where the SS pretended they were at passport control at an airport and asked each other questions such as -

Where are you from?

Why are you here?

Where are you staying?

Please check for errors and enjoy ;)
