A selection of English ESL all about me printables

It´s a text about a famous movie called Marley and Me. It has some activities too.

Marley and Me - Movie

This is the last worksheet of a unit called "THE MASS MEDIA". It is just a reading comprehension worksheet about broadcasting news in Great Britain. You can find the information about The British Broadcasting Company and its role in british society. I hope you find it useful.

Mass media. BBC. Radio and television in Britain.

A map can come in handy when working with pre-intermediate students who aren't confident or lack ideas. They follow the map step by step and develop a conversation. A convesrtaion is about: meeting someone for the fist time, asking about the trip, interests, home town, etc. 

Conversation Map Small talk

A dialogue to help with the present perfect. 2 teenage boys meet on holiday and chat about football

using the present perfect

the auxialiary "would" is used in questions about a dreamed vacation.  It is a short survey that can be used to encourage students to think about their preferences (reading and writing), as well as to find out what other classmates think (listening and speaking).  Students can report about their classmates giving complete answers.  



Follow up activity:



Afterwards, students can use the questions as a guide to write a text about the topic and draw its representation. A follow up activity could be to post the pictures on one side of the walls and the texts on another side. Students can read the different texts and match with the drawing. 

Would in questions 

In this activity, you'll practice using the structure "used to" by filling in the gaps in a short text about TikTok. The text describes the writer's thoughts and experiences with the popular social network, and uses "used to" to contrast their past and present attitudes. You'll need to choose the correct form of "used to" to fill in the gaps, and think about how the context of the sentence affects the meaning of the phrase. By the end of the activity, you'll have a better understanding of how "used to" can be used to talk about changes over time, and how it applies to our relationship with social networks like TikTok.

Practice Used to (Tiktok text with the gaps) Keys Provided

Materials needed: a deck of cards. 
this is a great warmup i use with my students to practice reading and answering questions. 
the method i use is this: the printed pages are put up on the four walls of the classroom and i hold the deck of cards at the center. The students line up in front of me and i give them each a card. I set a timer for 6-10 minutes (depending on the students and the work we have for that day) and say go! They all must find their question, read it, think of their answer, and come back in line to tell me the answer to their question in a complete sentence with correct grammar. (i demonstrate this the first few times we play by having a student pretend to be the teacher. ) if they give a correct answer, they get their next card. If they give an incorrect answer, i tell them to try again and they go back to the end of the line or to look at their question once more. I award points per number of cards the students have after the ten minutes are up.

Card Game - Answering Basic Questions Well

This activity is called: What's your opinion? It encourages the students to think, analize and express their opinions about the given phrases.The activity consists in working in groups and discuss quotes' meanings and then interact with the classmates. There are 4 different pages and a lesson about expressing opinions. 

Quotes, thoughts and phrases

Read about how two men changed the world. To learn about airflight its necessary to understand what happened all that time before. The language allows for ss to scan the text which allows them the opportunity to design a plane and find the parts that make it up.

Read and Write

 Dive into "Chat Masters," where students use "Have you ever ?" questions to uncover each other's daily habits. They'll ask about phone mishaps and memorable calls, turning each response into a fun story to share. It's a great way to practice English and learn more about friends in class.

Chat Masters: Have you ever?

This is a funny song whose lyrics really inspired me to create an activity not only for the fun of learning English with a song, but also to spread positivity, good vibes, learning  about diversity on body image and about love and not hate. 

With this activity I would like to claim that education on diversity (all kinds) is the way to stop bullying. Let's show students that social media is NOT about hate, but about love, accepting all kinds of sizes, forms, religions, sexuality, ways of doing and thinking. It also allowed me to talk about the insipiration for the music video (80's info commercials, workouts) vs. today's tendency on ASMR videos on Youtube.



Attractive and educating activity, and yeah; also learn some vocabulary and informal expressions.



All the explicit language has been beeped for the use with younger public.



Enjoy
