The Vortex Game. This is a game I’ve created that can be used with any age or level – for pretty much any purpose. It came out of a conversation with a colleague (thanks Sarah!) who was looking for an idea to help learners with minimal pronunciation pairs, Read More...

Just a quick lesson overview rather than a full plan etc today: this is an idea for helping learners with comparisons / comparatives. Basically it starts out with the activity “Tea or Coffee”, follows up with the language input stage, invites comparisons Read More...

This is an entry for everyone currently working at an ELT summer school somewhere in the world! It’s not always easy and there’s a lot of hard work – hopefully this post will help out a bit! I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy my summer school experiences Read More...

This is a great activity that you can use as a warmer or as a fun practice task in a number of situations. I should acknowledge that I originally saw my Dip tutor Peter Moran do this during a lesson in Wroclaw in 2006 – in various forms it’s been one Read More...

It’s early evening on a Friday about 7.30pm and the end of a long week both for me and the poor student who’s ended up scheduling her lessons at a time when the only other person in the school is the receptionist who has to lock up after us. We’ve been Read More...

This is a BBC Radio 4 documentary by Rory Bremner on how ADHD affects adults as well as children and what it can be like for all involved. Compelling listening and required material for anyone involved in education! The one section that particularly stood Read More...

It’s almost exam time again – hence the recent trend in teflgeek posts! So here’s a lesson on CAE writing, (though with some slight adaptation it’ll work for FCE / CPE as well). At this stage, it’s probably best used as a general organisation and presentation Read More...

Another really simple idea for all those use of english papers…. just remove the gaps. For exam classes this works with the following areas: FCE & CAE: Use of English Part One – multiple choice cloze Use of English Part Two – open cloze Use of English Read More...

I don’t think this needs much in the way of explanation! If you click the pdf link below, I’ve put together 30 different topic cards for IELTS speaking part 2 / CPE speaking part 3. I wrote most of these over seven years ago when I was teaching IELTS Read More...

I blame that Simon Thomas over at efl-resource . It’s all his fault. And I’m still not sure whether it’s “zip zap zop” or “zig zag zog” or something else entirely! I’ve inherited a class, which Simon once taught back in the misty dawn of time, of 12-year-old Read More...

A relatively simple way of dealing with multiple choice cloze tasks in the classroom: Take one multiple choice cloze task, possibly one like this FCE style task found via a google image search, or just one from your coursebook. Before the class, you’ll Read More...

Spotted a post on Larry Ferlazzo the other day about http://www.fotobabble.com/ - a “talking photo” service that “lets you add your voice to any photo in seconds”. Exam classes anyone? I’m very excited by the possibility of learners having a picture task Read More...

Here’s a brief lesson I put together for my CPE class the other day, though it’s also useful for anyone teaching IELTS. It’s basically learner centred and learner generated, with minimal preparation and is adaptable to either exam. The Lesson plan and Read More...

I’ll be honest, I don’t really know much about Habitat for Humanity. I’m mentioning them here because they posted a comment under one of the blog posts and I just went and took a quick look at their site. They have quite a wealth of lessons (detailed Read More...

An interesting post by Deborah Capras on the Business Spotlight blog relating to Microsoft’s recent billion dollar purchase of Skype. She raises the question: Doesn’t $8.5 billion seem a lot of money for a verb I use almost every day for free? Which is Read More...
