intermediate game word building - 2 views

  •  
    This game gives the student the opportunity to activate his/her vocabulary. It provides the student with eight letters and the student has to make up as many words with these letters as possible. Good game for individual and group work. My students liked it but they said that they had better play this game at home. They confessed that this game if played regularly activates passive vocabulary.

intermediate vocabulary double meanings matching fill in the blank - 4 views

  •  
    The students see many objects and are given a list of names which they should match with their pictures. The names of the objects have more than one meaning. Students are then given sentences where they are going to use the words in other meanings. They can use either logic or dictionary to find different meanings for these names which will fit in the sentences. This activity will work effectively both in the classroom and outside the classroom. It can also be assigned for individual and group work. My students were really interested in the activity. They asked each other, worked collaboratively, also used dictionary and sometimes asked for my help. The output was productive as in the end students remembered all the words.

beginner motion words flashcards vocabulary - 2 views

  •  
    The activity consists of flashcards. Below the pictures there are some words. The teacher can cut the pictures and the words and ask the students to find the corresponding pictures and words. Teachers can assign it as a group or an individual work. This activity is more suitable for class work. I gave this activity to my daughter and she was interested in it. She asked me to give her more activities like that. So, I decided to give such activities to my beginner group students.

podcast with support pack elementary listening reading cohesive order of sentences voca... - 4 views

  •  
    The PDF file includes a great range of various exercises. This activity is very useful as students learn to read and write while they are listening. Students need to read through the questions in the exercises in the practice materials before listening to the podcast. While they're scanning the text they will get an idea about what they are going to listen to. They have to read the instructions of each exercise carefully, as sometimes they must listen for the 'right' answers. But in some of these questions, they must choose the one answer that is not possible or wrong. These exercises are also appropriate for those who intend to take IELTS or iBT exams later. My students did this activity; they liked it and didn't get bored (the variety of the exercises made them busy and concentrated). I gave them some other podcasts with their support packs and saw their gradual improvement.

beginner level flashcards vocabulary vegetables coloring pictures - 2 views

  •  
    This activity teaches the name of some vegetables. Below the pictures are given the names of the vegetables and the students have to put the names in their corresponding places. All the pictures are colorless which gives the students the opportunity to color them. So, the teacher can either revise the colors or to introduce them to the students. I gave this activity to my own students and they did it with pleasure. They already knew the colors, so that was only revision for them.
