This is a wonderful activity for developing students' listening, reading (skimming and scanning), speaking skills, as well as increasing vocabulary. it contains variety of activities which are based on the listening. Moreover, all the activities can be done both online and on paper (all materials are printable including the transcript of the audio). It contains a pre-watching vocabulary activity the story a comprehension activity a language activity about idioms I used this material with my two intermediate students. Though the level was lower I have decided to try. In order to help them I wrote down the words/expression that they might be unknown and discussed them before listening. Then they listened to the audio but still had difficulties to understand completely what the audio was mainly about. In order to solve the misunderstanding I have decided to give the transcripts to read while listening (It helped much to understand). I used the third activity to check whether they could scan and skim the information (they could as I guess reading helped them very much). The last activity was a multiple choice activity where the students should look at the given idioms and choose the best meaning. Suggestion- If your students are not high intermediate/advanced the process will be slowed down. Just use transcript and after listening discuss the text. It will help.

Mostly everybody knows this game and enjoys watching it. Why don't we use this game for teaching purposes as well? I tried it with my students when we were covering the topic "countries and nationalities" and they liked it a lot. They even told me that they tried playing this game on other topics as well. So, go ahead and try yourself!

Like it very much and will play at home.

A very good and engaging tool to use in the classroom and have a follow up discussion. Everybody loves spekaing about their wishes, this way they will watch a video, have some vocabulary on the topic and then express their wishes. I think this way the students will be very engaged in the discussion and improve both their listening and speaking skills. This will best work with adults or young adults, intermediate level. I haven't used it yet in my classes, but I will for sure:)

Great as a follow up activity once the kids know the related nutrition vocab and basic nutrition facts. Then kids can create their own balanced lunches and talk about them or share otherwise

This game is a good source for teaching food and catering vocabulary. Learners have a chance to listen to the pronunciation of words and see them at the same time. Besides, the game gives some useful information about healthy food. I piloted it on my friend's mother who has an elementary level of English. She liked it very much and said that it was really useful.

I used this audio/video file during my practicum to teach 5 to 7 years old 10 little kids from AUA EEC courses and it succeeded. It was an entertaining way of teaching. The kids were motivated because they could hear and watch a colorful video clip. As in this audio/video file kids were singing and dancing by pointing out their parts of the body. Watching this motivated the kids and they started to imitate them. After playing the audio and video file several times they learned it by heart.

I used this video/audio file to teach my 9 years old niece and her 8 years old friend English prepositions of places. The interesting thing was that I didn't tell them that they were going to learn prepositions . I just played the video clip and went away letting them watch and enjoy it. After watching the video clip several times, I noticed that they were learning prepositions by discussing the video clip and translating prepositions into Armenian language. Hence, I found this video clip to be very useful for teaching prepositions to children in an entertaining way.

These exercises are good for developing students' listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition to these skills, it also develops students' vocabulary. While listening and watching the songs or a video poem, the students will have opportunity to write down the missing words in a given space and later on check the answers. I used this type of exercises with my students and to tell the truth they liked them very much. This type of exercises can be used at the end of the lesson or in the middle of it, when teacher notice some boredom during the lesson. They play as a good refresh. After listening the song, the teacher may discuss it with students (as I did) or even translate. There are also some words at the end of each song and students may learn them as well.

This is a listening exercise which aims to assist learners' intonation and stress. For this song, upper intermediate students should listen and fill in the blanks with no help or discussion. They should then check what they have written with classmates. Once the lyrics are completed, students should be encoureged to sing along with the song, in order to practise the stress and intonation. I practised it with my student when having tutoring and it helped greatly.

These flashcards can be used for teaching children animals

These are flashcards of animals. They are colorful and funny. I'm completely sure kids will like them

When I was doing my practicum in EEC I really had problems in finding good flashcards. The problems was that in order to find a picture of a particular animal, I had to type the animal's name (eg.lion, cat) and then choose on of them, then change the size (make it bigger or smaller) and this process took me a long time. When I found this site I was very happy because they are very funny and colorful and there are approximately 10-15 animal picture that I can print immediately without searching them long or changing the size.

I have tried this game with an intermediate and upper intermediate level students and it worked quite well. The only difficulty may the result of culture differences. There may be some set phrases which do not exist in the S's native language, and unfamiliarity with this set phrase may cause come difficulties. However it is very useful and effective.

This activity will give opportunity to English learners to practise similes by the help of pictures and associations with them.
