Jobs/Occupations  Poster | Talking Posters | BINGOBONGO Learning

This is a simple lesson plan designed to help lower level students introduce themselves and ask and answer questions about jobs, families and hobbies. There is a mini dialogue to listen and repeat, some drill practice and three easy exercises to consolidate the language. Finally there is a listening section and a fun communication based activity to bring it all together.

Meeting New People

This is a useful lesson plan for beginners which practices language asking about food in the home. The short conversation introduces closed questions followed by quantity questions. In the practice sections students must identify whether a food is countable or uncountable and answer in both the positive and negative. The exercises reinforce the structures needed for question, positive and negative sentences. In the listening section students must listen to a short conversation about shopping and answer some simple questions. Finally, there is a communicative activity which will help build fluency and confidence.

Food (Countable & Uncountable)

This simple lesson plan is for elementary and pre-intermediate learners but is also a useful tool for review with intermediate and even upper-intermediate learners. The focus is on locations around town. Students practice asking where places are and explaining locations using prepositions of place, street names and shop names. The town map on page two can be used to adapt the lesson to practice giving directions, too. 

Locations Around Town

This lesson plan practices 'used to...' together with simple present and simple past tenses. In the model conversation students listen and repeat questions, responses and natural follow-up questions which introduce 'used to'. Students can be drilled in the practice sections before completing two exercises - one a gap-fill (using 'used to' with frequency adverbs) and the other a matching exercise. The listening section is a conversation between two friends talking about their school days. This lesson is a good way to review 'used to' or to introduce it to students for the first time. Enjoy!
