⭐️4 Rousing Resources for Cleverly Teaching #Grammar to ESL Students⭐️
💯💯💯👌🏻
1. Grammar Activities with
#Songs
⚡️
#Listening
Select a song appropriate for your class level and age of your students. Remove certain words from the lyrics related to the target grammar you intend to teach, and replace it with a blank instead. Pass out these lyrical fill-in-the-blank worksheets for students to try and complete on their second listen.
⚡️ #Speaking
Prior to starting any speaking activity, encourage your students to participate in a karaoke session to warm up. For this, it’s best to choose a simple song with lots of repetition to boost your students’ confidence.
Aside from a karaoke session, pose questions about the song they have just sung to get your students talking. Discuss the main theme and the target grammar points.
⚡️ #Writing
Working in pairs or groups, have students write a response to the song or write an entirely new set of lyrics for the tune, preferably using the target grammar. To add an element of fun, you can get the pairs/groups to sing out their verses.
For example, in the song “Don’t Worry Be Happy, “ you could highlight verbs such as “wrote,” “lay,” “give,” “call,” etc. Students could rewrite the song entirely, or just the verses (leaving the repetitive phrase “Don’t worry, be happy” in the song). Monitor to ensure students are sticking as closely to the rhythm as they can.

2. Grammar Activities with Movies
⚡️
#Listening
Have your students watch a short segment of a movie and afterwards provide them with a transcribed dialogue. Discuss the target grammar and then set them loose on a treasure hunt, searching for (and highlighting) examples of that feature in the script from that scene. Watch the scene a second time so students can hear the grammar in action again.
⚡️ #Reading and #Speaking
In a different lesson, have students read the script of a scene they have watched. Highlight the grammatical item, such as present tense verbs and write them on the board. If the present tense is your focus, ask your learners what’s happening in the scene, and get them discussing—using the present tense of the verbs you’ve written on the board.
⚡️ #Writing
Storyboards are useful tools that can lend itself to writing. There are a number of free online storyboards creators (👉🏻JUST TOUCH THIS IT WILL OPEN THE SITE FOR U👈🏻) you can use in your lesson. Have your students recreate the scene discussed in a previous lesson and show it on a storyboard.
Encourage your students to write speech bubbles and other pieces of information, such as the setting and action, in each box provided in the storyboard. This hands-on activity will surely arouse your students’ interest.

3. Grammar Activities with Short Stories
⚡️
#Reading
Provide your students with a selected short story. First, read the story and discuss the content. Then, deconstruct a passage by highlighting some examples of target grammar items and discussing how they’re used. Extract a sentence containing the grammar item and have students substitute in other words, to use the grammar structure in new contexts.
For example, in the sentence “He is taller than his brother,” students can replace “taller” with “bigger,” “shorter,” “fatter,” “slimmer,” etc. to practice comparative adjectives.
⚡️ #Listening
To kickstart your grammar lesson, have students listen to a short recorded script, like one from these listening exercises from 5-Minute English(TOUCH IT).This helps them to tune in and get ready to focus on the lesson.
Pass out a fill-in-the-blanks worksheet of the script. If you’re teaching a beginner or low intermediate level class, you can include options for every blank space, so that students can cross out the wrong words. Ideally, the words that your students are expected to fill in are examples of the target grammar items to be taught. Draw your students’ attention to these words and then explain how they can be used.
⚡️ #Writing and #Speaking
Use the short story that your students have read as an extension activity. Now that the grammar topic has been explicitly taught, invite your students to use their creativity to create a dialogue involving characters or a scene from the story. Put the actual story aside so students aren’t tempted to grab anything word-for-word, but leave up any nouns or adjectives (or other structures) that have been highlighted.
This exercise aims to reinforce students’ understanding of the story and the target grammar topic taught. After the scripts have been written, have students take on each of the characters and read out their parts!

#Listening #song 🗣👂🏻🎵

This post will look at 5 ways to use music in ESL classroom.

Music is a great way to introduce a theme, change the mood, teach #vocabulary or even just inspire a class discussion.
Music can be a great way to tap into students’ interests. The following five ideas are a great way to use music to practice English in the classroom. They are simple to set up and great fun in class.

👌🏻Music story
Choose about 15 words that appear in the song and write them on the board. Next, get the students to work in groups of 3 or 4. In their groups, students choose 5 words from the board and write a story including these words. The chosen words should be underlined. Next, students listen to the song. Everybody stands up at the beginning of the song and when they hear the words that they have chosen to use in their story, they sit down and stand back up again, repeating this until they have listened to all five words.
The class can then talk about their story and the meaning of the song etc.
 
👌🏻Error correction
Each student is given a copy of the song which contains mistakes like wrong words. In pairs, students look for and highlight the mistakes. The students listen to the song again, check and correct.
 
👌🏻Listen and correct
Split a song into parts A and B. Part A will contain the first, third and fifth etc lines of the song and part B will have the second, fourth etc lines. Split students A and B. Students have to listen and fill in the missing sentences. To check and correct, students go through the song in pairs.
 
👌🏻Listen and order
Cut a song into strips. Divide either into separate verses or lines, depending on the length of the song. Get the class to organize themselves in a line in the order that they think the song goes. Class listen to the song and put themselves in the order as they hear the sentence. As an alternative to this, you could split the class into two groups, giving each group a copy of the song cut into strips. Split the whiteboard into four sections. Before listening, the two groups have to put the song into the order they think is correct. They listen again and correct. The team with the most correct win.

👌🏻Brainstorm 
Finally another simple task which can be done is remove the verbs, adverbs, adjectives etc from the song. Students work in pairs or groups to brainstorm the missing words.

These activities r just perfect n fun! Use them in your classes n share your videos with us😀🌹

#Pronunciation #Game

How to teach pronunciation

Here is one activity that u could do for practicing pronunciation with your Ss....Check out the #web at the end of this post to find out more activities like this😉😘 I’ve also posted one cool game for pronunciation on my instagram page...JOIN & ENJOY 😍
Instagram👇🏻
http://instagram.com/teachertrainingpage

Odd One Out
Put similar words into groups of three—two with one sound, and one with a different (although similar) sound. Or you could have groups of four or five which contain the same sound, but only one that’s different. For example:

meet, seat, sit (for vowels)
plays, pace, space(for consonants)

The selection of the odd word can be a #reading exercise—where students read the words to themselves out loud and identify the sounds in the written words—or a #listening exercise—where the teacher reads the words and the students respond to the “odd” word.
Likewise, selected students could try reading the words aloud for others to identify the odd word, or they could work in pairs or small groups with one person pronouncing the words and the others indicating which is odd.
There are a number of different activities you could run with these groups of words—depending on the ages and abilities of your class, and your classroom arrangement.
• Ask the students individually to read through the word groups and pick which words have different sounds.

• Ask the students to discuss the groups of words with a partner and decide which one is odd.

• Divide the class into two teams, in two lines, and ask the person whose turn it is to choose the odd word as you read them out loud.

• Make the question part of another game like Tic Tac Toe. The team or individual whose turn it is to place an X or an O must first pick the odd one out. They proceed with their turn if they choose the right word. If they can’t identify the odd word, then they lose their turn.

Play Run and Grab (check website👇🏻) putting the words on the board and having participants run up to pick the odd word.

🔷10 Creative Ways to Use Movies For Teaching English🔷

🔹How Observant Are You?
This activity is good for getting students to talk in the past tense about observation-based facts.
Before the movie clip, don’t tell the students what they are looking for, but tell them to watch with a keen detective’s eye. Afterwards ask them a question about a specific item in a room, or a character’s words or actions. You can make this a group exercise, getting teams to write their answers together. Repeat as many times as you want!

🔹Vocabulary Meaning Match
Give students a worksheet with a list of #vocabulary words in one column, and scrambled definitions in the other. As students watch the movie clip, they have to match the vocabulary to the adjacent list of meanings.

🔹Order the Events
This is a #reading based activity, good for building up students’ recall power.
After watching the clip, give students a set of event cards (no more than ten), in pairs or individually. Each card should contain one or two sentences of events from the movie clip. These can be as significant or insignificant as you want, depending on the length of the clip and what the focus of  the lesson is. Students have to rearrange the events into the correct order.

🔹Buzz Game
Here’s another activity to test students’ powers of observation.
Put the students into teams. Ask a question such as, “What color is [character’s name]’s sweater?,” and then start the clip. When a student sees the answer, they “buzz” by making a pre-decided comical noise, or by standing up. If the student is correct, move onto the next question and the next section of the movie clip.✔️

🔹Choose a Word
#listening
Give each student a word that will appear at least once in the movie clip. While watching, when any student hears their word, they stand up. Sit back and watch the students bob up and down!

▪️THE REST WILL BE POSTED SOON▪️

🔷🔷🔷
For supplementary materials beyond these five comprehension activities, you can find tons of worksheets for video clips from the following two websites:

Busy Teacher: Movie Worksheets

Movies Grow English: Short-sequence ESL/EFL Movie Lessons

And if you’re ever in need of a short video clip instead of a full-length movie or movie part...
FluentU takes real-world videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized English learning lessons.

#Beginner 🧒🏻👦🏻 #Listening
Fun Ways to Practice Listening with Kids

☎️Telephone☎️
Start with one sentence, and whisper it to the person next to you. The last person says the sentence they heard out loud. This kind of game works especially well with larger groups.

👩🏻‍🦱The interesting part would be hearing the last person saying out loud the sentence!”😄


💃🏻🕺🏻Freeze Dance🕺🏻💃🏻
This game requires kids to listen for the music stopping AND to stop their bodies. This is a good way to work on impulse control as well. Pick a fun song, stopping it occasionally and seeing who freezes their bodies. Try to hide the music source so kids can’t see when you’re about to stop it.

👩🏻‍🦱”Another common version of this game ,that you probably know about, is putting some chairs in the middle of the class (for example u have 11 S ,so u need 10 chairs!) and when you pause the song students should find a chair to sit! And every time you should get rid of one chair! Who ever has no chair left to seat loses😬


🌑End of the word - beginning of the next🌒
It requires listening to the word the previous person said, then coming up with a word that starts with the letter they ended on.
Horse….Ear....Right….Tiger….
Make it more complex by limiting the categories, like only naming animals.

👩🏻‍🦱”You could also play this game with a small ball🎾. Students could throw the ball to their other friends to say the next word; and they could also consider the ball as a fire ball! ☄️ As soon as one’s got the ball s/he should say the word or s/he loses🤭


🗣Tell a Group Story🗣
The first person starts a story with one sentence. Then the next person adds onto the story, and it continues until everyone has contributed at least one sentence to the story. (For smaller groups, you can go around two or three times). This requires listening to what has already been said and making connections, as well as working together as a group.

👩🏻‍🦱”I think this is more suitable for elementary students not beginners.”


Simon Says
This game requires listening for a certain phrase, and moving only when the leader includes Simon Says.
•Example
You or a student:
Simon says: Jump in the air
Other students:
Performing the action they just heard
This is another game that works on controlling impulses and players can take turns being the leader.👌🏻


The Rain Game
Did you know you can make the sound of a rainstorm just with your fingers? This sounds AMAZING with a large group, but it’s also cool with a small group. Sit in a circle with your group. Direct the kids to pay attention to what the person on their right is doing and as soon as they do an action, then they do it too.
Then go through the following sequence
• rub thumb and forefinger together
• rub hands together
• Snap fingers
• Clap hands
• Slap thighs
• Stomp feet
• Slap thighs
• Clap hands
• Snap fingers
• Rub hands
• rub thumb and forefinger together
• Hands on lap
Ask the kids what they heard. It should sound just like a rainstorm passing through, getting more intense, and then getting less intense. Such a cool class wide activity!!

👩🏻‍🦱”OMG! I just loved this last one!”
