Free Lesson Worksheets

Here are the four worksheets I created for my 13 year old ESL students. The students completed the work in an hour. The word search is a useful way to have the students return to work mode after a break. The translation exercise allows them to build familiarization between the new words they learnt during the word search with their own language. The third worksheet utilises a drawing exercise to assist students who favour thinking with imagery. The final worksheet has the students use the new vocabulary in correct sentences. To enhance speaking skills I walked around the class and had the students read the words to me as they completed the translation sheet. I also had the students read the sentences on the fourth sheet as a class, and asked some students to read individually. The two most common mistakes were the mispronunciation of "ride" as "rid" and most struggled to pronounce "caught" and "couch" correctly.

To consolidate the lesson I played "word bingo" with the students after they had completed the worksheets. This is such a great game and its fantastic to hear the students calling out the final word they need to win a prize in English.
