A selection of English ESL a vocabulary printables

This worksheet include activities to revise christmas vocabulary, such as typical vocabulary, collocations as well as a fill in the gaps exercise with the episode white christmas of modern family and a song from Mariah Carey. I also included questions for speaking and extra materials from other sources, such as listening exercise and videos to reinforce the topic. 

CHRISTMAS LESSON

This is a set of simple conversation questions about going on vacation. It uses simple vocabulary that you would teach to beginners for a lesson about travel - like "window seat". It also is great practice for expressing preference. "Do you prefer X or Y?" In so many conversation question sets, the questions themselves are too difficult for my beginners, so I created this simple one - I hope it's helpful.
