• A PowerPoint 
• A board game

Editor's notes

Super set of resources - PPT easily adapted to suit your own learners, and the extra games and puzzles really help reinforcement and consolidation.

A board game for ESOL Entry 1/2 learners to practice asking and answering simple questions about their lives. 

This could be useful practice for speaking exams, or for getting to know a new class. 

Editor's notes

Makes a great ice breaker or warm up activity - especially at the start of term. 36 simple questions - mostly about personal information and likes/dislikes.

A lesson to help ESOL Entry 3 students understand how to plan a text and use paragraphs for the writing exam (Ascentis exam board). 

Includes: 

• A PowerPoint
• Links to videos 
• Practice writing exam questions 
• Revision of complex sentences

Editor's notes

Super pre-exam preparation and practice. Although written for Ascentis, easily be adapted to suit other awarding bodies. In addition to the paragraph and planning guidance, the coverage of complex sentences is excellent.

This resource was previously presented as ‘A Day in the Life of Jane’ (no longer available). It has been revised and updated with changes to the texts and rearranged as one downloadable file. The texts are suitable for E3-L1 ESOL and Functional Skills English.

Part of the Jane collection. 

Editor's notes

A variety of reading texts with a range of purposes and formats (article, letter, email, application form, etc.).
This resource has no answer sheet. 

Mnemonics for writing numbers as words. This is a list of numbers from 1 to 20 and then 30,40,50.60,70,80,90,100. To be dipped into when a particular number's spelling is a struggle to remember. 

Editor's notes

A fun set of mnemonics - especially useful for those tricky numbers such as four, fourteen and forty; twelve and eighteen. Also makes a good introduction when encouraging learners to make up their own mnemonics. 

A short topical resource inspired by the recent Artemis II mission. Questions build up from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2. Each page has questions based on a short text about the mission. Something for everyone: teachers can pick and choose pages to suit their learners' needs. Topics include: dates, clocks and calendars, odd nos., calculating with time, large numbers, compound measures, rounding and converting measures.
