Videos Hurray-Hurrah For Broccoli I Love My Hair Fifth Harmony: That's Music Aloe Blacc: Everyday Hero Letter of the Day: A How to Explain Despite Vs. Although So many ways to say the same thing…so confusing for students! English, like all other languages, has many different ways to express one thing. For example, we can say “too,” “as well,” and “also,” and the meaning is virtually indistinguishable. The same is true for these commonly confused words: despite, in spite of, despite the fact that, in spite of the fact that, although, though, and even though. ESL Lounge: Songs for English Teaching. Free song lyrics. using songs in the esl classroom It's great to use songs in the class, if only to do something a little different. But beyond using them solely to give your students some 'light relief', there are many other ways songs can be used in ESL classrooms to consolidate what students have already learnt.

Practicing parts of speech using Mad Libs! I remembered my English teacher from 7th grade who used Mad Libs- and it was fun! I thought using Mad Libs can also be a fun learning activity in ESL/EFL classrooms.First, in case you are unfamiliar with Mad Libs- it is basically a very short story (length of one paragraph or even less) with a lot of blanks. Each blank is labeled with a part of speech such as “plural noun” or “-ing ending verb.”

Mad Lib Theater – keep it simple activities One of my main sources of research to keep abreast of new Internet tools and resources for the ESL classroom is Larry Ferlazzo’s great blog, which I highly recommend checking out. About a month ago, Larry suggested using Mad Libs in this blog entry to lead to a performance as opposed to just using it for the students to have fun around filling in blanks with word categories, which, in his view, and I totally subscribe, wasn’t that interesting from a language practice standpoint. He got this idea from a hilarious Mad Lib (Theater) version in Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show with Benedict Cumberbatch. So I decided to use this video “Mad Lib Theater style” with my students in the English classroom and it was a real winner.

Virtual Puzzle - Museum of Tolerance New York The Museum of Tolerance New York was pleased to participate in the third annual NYC’s Respect for All (RFA) week from February 13th-17th, 2012. Citywide activities and events during this week promoted tolerance, diversity, and respect for all. During RAF week, all students who visited the MOTNY were asked to participate in the creation of a Respect for All puzzle. Students were given their own puzzle piece and asked to write what they feel makes them unique, be it cultural background, personal strengths or future aspirations.

Jimmy Fallon Takes Mad Libs To Another Level & It May Be Useful For ELLs Mad Libs, I think, have very limited usefulness with English Language Learners since they really don’t promote accurate understanding. However, for ELLs who are in the high-intermediate range, I’ve found they can be an occasional fun activity that also reinforces parts of speech. Having students create their own versions for their classmates can move this activity to a much more productive level, however, and the Word Blanks site is the easiest tool out there for making them (Mad Takes is a good site to find already-made ones). I’ve shared quite a few games I’ve learned from Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show and how I’ve modified them for language-learning.

Losers This EFL lesson is designed around a short film called Losers by Everynone and the theme of bullying. The message of the film is that regardless of what we look like or how popular we are, we’re all united by a susceptibility to verbal abuse. At the end of the film, the word “Loser” is reclaimed, proving itself to be an appropriate descriptor for the person who used it in the first place. I would ask all teachers who use Film English to consider buying my book Film in Action as the royalties which I receive from sales help to keep the website completely free.
