This activity deals with the concept of rhyming. This concept is not immediately understood by most students and needs to be explained first with ample examples. The activity consists of groups of 3 words two of which rhyme and one doesn't. Students read the words or listen to the instructor and select the word that doesn't rhyme. They are then directed to pick a specific letter from the "wrong" word and write it in a separate column. After completing the assignment students unscramble the letters trying to form a meaningful expression related to listening which in this case is "I'm all ears".

Silent Letters
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This light activity deals with "silent letters" of English language which are encountered in a large number of English language words. Students read a fairly simple dialogue with the blanks for words containing silent letters. Silent letters, however, are listed while the rest of the letters are blanked. Students find the missing words and become aware of silent letters. Great activity for a warm-up.

Speaking for Myself: ESOL Listening, Speaking, and Learning in Community

Rating
0.0 stars

This material has been used for several years with Intermediate to high Intermediate level students in the Chemeketa Community College ESOL program. It has been sourced and designed in response to feedback from and the changing needs of this community. The students take Listening and Speaking classes twice a week. Each class is an hour and a half twice a week, for a total of six hours’ contact time.

A large part of the course is based on a project based learning approach; at this level, using critical thinking skills, collaboration, and presentation skills enables students to develop and practice skills while seeing tangible results boosts confidence and provides a sense of community. Active learning is also a key component. Students have a voice in the themes, topics, and activities assigned and since all have a wealth of experience in many areas, the presentations and projects are engaging and relevant. Much of the success of projects is based on an expectation that students will work on them outside of class time, and homework
assignments are a regular part of the course.

I’ve designed this course as a set of modules which can be used separately or in conjunction with one another; please feel free to select what works for your class and leave the rest. This course is an Open Education Resource and is under an Open License, which means the material is free, can be copied, shared with others, and adapted.
