In this YouTube-based activity, students watch a scene from an animated film and observe the actions performed by characters. The activity is suitable for low level primary children since the focus here is not on listening. The technique can be used to review present tenses and vocabulary for daily routine and adapted for other cartoons or films.

This lesson is aimed at lower level students with a variety of activities related to Bonfire night. Students will do a jigsaw reading to complete a text about Bonfire night, they will then discuss their own opinions about it. Students will design a Bonfire night menu, thinking about the food they would like to eat whilst watching fireworks. They will learn a popular Bonfire night rhyme and focus on pronunciation, before a final group work activity where they will produce a firework safety poster.

Many students, especially at intermediate level, express the feeling that they are not making any progress. This is because their progress is not as noticeable as it was when they started learning English. This tends to have a de-motivating effect on the students and can lead to students losing interest in the learning process. One tactic I have employed over the last two years has been to compile a negotiated list of objectives with the students to try to help them see their progress more clearly and thus become more motivated. |
