ESL activities
Here are some ideas for practical classroom activities in an ESL setting.
Improvisations
These improvisations are not role-plays or simulations (although many of them can be adapted as such). The objective here is total spontaneity.
Teaching with Dictation
Ideas for long and short dictation texts to build in to your lesson plans.
Funny English
A collection of curious signs in hotels and other public places around the world. Useful fillers for your lesson plans.
Activities by Level
Many of these are classic activities used around the world wherever people teach languages. They can be extremely valuable in introducing dynamism and reinforcing the points that you, the teacher, have taught.
