A selection of English ESL love yourself printables

A music worksheet for students to increase their listening and vocabulary skills. I usually let them listen to the song twice depending on their skill level. Can have discussion afterwards.

Love Yourself Justin Beiber

A worksheet using a music from Justin Bieber to practice the listening about simple past. It's a way for the students to learn and having fun at the same time. The music is new, so it fits better to young students like teenagers, but since it's not a fast song, it can be used with all kinds of students. 

Love Yourself (SIMPLE PAST) 

Songs used to listen and complete with the correct word they hear. Songs by Magic! and Justin Biever. They very popular among adolescents and young adults, they are also catchy.

Rude - Love yourself- Songs

Another song from Bieber´s last album. Again, I needed a challenging worksheet for my students, so you´ll find various exercises: fill the gaps, choose the right word, the right spelling, find extra words, order lines, correct mistakes, fill gaps with past simple and antonyms, complete missing letters. I added a post-listening activity for checking vocabulary, the students have to choose the correct meaning for several expressions. I hope you like it!



P.S. If you like my worksheets and your students like Bieber´s last album, I also uploaded "What do you mean?" today and "I´ll show you" some time ago. Thanks! 

Song: Love yourself -Justin Bieber

A fun listening comprehension activity to Justin Bieber's Love Yourself for lower levels of English. As students listen to the song, they must fill in the spaces with the correct words. Another part requires students to put the chorus in the correct order. Goes over American colloquialisms such as "wanna" and the silent g in some words ending in -ing.

This is a classic Guess Who boardgame I made using characters that I generated with the WimpyKid character Generator (http://www.wimpykidclub.co.uk/wimp-yourself/)The Guess Who game is this: Students have to guess each other's mystery person before their opponent guesses theirs. They can only answer YES or NO.



You can use this worksheet in your ESL/EFL classes to practise body parts, clothes, (garments and accessories), and asking closed (Yes/No) questions in an entertaining way. Sure to get your students involved.



I recommend using this ESL printable worksheet up till pre-intermediate level, as the game is focused on asking questions and giving short answers in the Present Simple tense using the auxiliary verb 'have', and the Present Continuous tense using the verb "wear".



Sample questions are included on page 2 of this worksheet. 





Here's how to play the Guess Who game in ESL class: 



1. Pair students up and let them choose a 'mystery person' secretly. 



2. Tell them the rules: 



A) The point of the game is: who can find each other's mystery person first? 



B) Students may only ask 'YES' or ‘NO’ questions (and of course, reposnd with a 'YES' or 'NO'). 



C) If some detail is not clearly visible in the picture or is subject to interpretation, your pupils can reply: "I can't tell" or "It's not possible to tell". 



D) In each turn, students narrow down the scope of the possible mystery persons. When they feel certain enough to make a guess, they can, but if they guess wrong, they've lost.



3. Give one copy of the boardgame to every student. 



4. You're advised to hand out one transparent plastic foil with each Guess Who boardgame. Students can place the foil over the boardgame and cross out on it the characters that they have ruled out using an erasable magic marker. 



Here's how this works: for example, one student asks: "Is your person blond?" If the answer is 'Yes', then he/she crossed out all the persons that are NOT blond, leaving only the blondes eligible. If the answer is 'No', they cross out all the characters that are blond, leaving only the non-blondes up.



5. Throughout the game encourage students to respond with auxiliary verbs, not just a simple Yes or No, e.g. "Yes, he or she is/does", "No, he or she isn't/doesn't" (using the form "he or she" until the gender of the mystery character has been revealed in order to keep this info hidden). Once the gender is revealed, they can go on using the specific gender in responses, e.g. "Yes, he is", "Yes, he does", "No, he isn't", No, he doesn't". You could, however, also opt for forbidding questions about the mystery person's gender. This way you'll see longer games and more questions.

Guess Who ESL Boardgame

With this file you will get PROMPTCARDS with questions to provoke lively discussions NOT about trivia but about values, beliefs, life in general, love, generosity, death etc. Let the students find out more about themselves. Some questions might confront ethical dilemmas in a concrete rather than an abstract form. There are no correct or incorrect answers to these questions. For students to probe, discuss and explain their ideas about life using upper-intermediate and advanced language skills. Example questions: “If you new there would be a nuclear war in one week, what would you do?” “Given the ability to project yourself into the past but not return, would you do so? Where would you go and what would you try to accomplish if you knew you might change the course of history?” This activity is requested by my students once a semester! I hope you will enjoy it as much as they do! *** USE PAGE 3 AS BACK ***

Introduce yourself

A hit from Justin Bieber´s last album. I tried to make a more challenging worksheet, so there are 10 different exercises while listening: complete missing letters (only with the official music video intro), fill the gaps, extra words and correct mistakes, choose the word, fill gaps with synonyms, pronouns, pairs of antonyms, unscramble letters, match and then order lines. Post-listening there is an original activity, they have to watch the video, stopped it where indicated, tell the time showed on the clock and say what happens. I hope you like it!

Song: What do you mean - Justin Bieber

This is the first set of flash cards (10 out of 20) dealing with prepositions. They are double: at the front: only the preposition and a picture; at the back: a sentence and a picture, so that you can choose if you want to introduce only the preposition word connected to the picture, or also the preposition in the context of a sentence, which I consider very important in the learning process. The whole set has been created with the aim of making my students familiar with the preposition words and the pictures connected to them, as afterwards they play the games "Snap!!" and "Memory", which they love. I have also uploaded here the little cards to play the games together with the instructions. Enjoy yourself!!
