A selection of English ESL step eiken printables

This is the type of lesson I use for my one to one sessions with students. I try to focus on getting them prepared for Eiken tests. Although not exactly mirroring the Eiken test, it makes for an enjoyable lesson.

News article - Eiken practice

My 8 yo private student in Japan is readying for Eiken 3 listening test. I've been preparing him with these very short stories and comprehension. Each A4 page has 3 short stories and at least 3 or 4 questions for each story. These can be used with children and or adults.

Very short stories

short stories

This is  a short, communicative matching activity in which pairs or groups can work together in order to discover some "unusual customs" from around the globe by matching verbs and picture hints.

There is also a speaking activity that explores how to describe plans, resolutions and wishes for the upcoming new year.

A writing question based on the need for my Japanese JHS students to practice for their Level 3 / Pre-2 EIKEN exam is also included and can easily be adapted to your students' requirements or even into another speaking activity.

*I will try to upload the accompanying PowerPoint slides under the same title.



NEW YEAR TRADITIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

Very short stories and questions

I used the board game template from https://notebookingfairy.com/game-board-templates/ and made this speaking game that has questions based on the Japanese English test called Eiken. Eiken uses a lot of "should...?" and "do you think...?" questions. You can edit the questions, though.



Students play this game in pairs. Each pair has the board sheet and the questions sheet. One player flips a coin to move 1 or 2 spaces on the board (use erasers as game pieces). The other player asks the first player a question. More instructions are in the file. Enjoy! This really got my students talking a lot.
