Includes 2 CDs
This book was developed in 3 sections. The first section, Listening Skills, focuses on multi-purpose
listening exercises. They require time and repetition. The skills that are developed can then be applied
in the various contexts of the second section of the book. The listening exercises include letters of the
alphabet, numbers, names, license plates, postal codes, phones numbers, addresses, maps, messages,
one-sided phone messages & dictations.
The second section, Reading & Writing, incorporates the use of the skills from section 1, but focuses
largely on reading and writing in specific contexts, although there are suggestions for some oral applications to those contexts as well. The reading & writing section includes Invitations, dates, times, answering an invitation (accepting and refusing), notes, telephone messages, letters, addressing envelopes,
forms, and greeting cards (phrases and symbols).
The third section, Assessment, contains 13 assessment sheets. Great for PBLA binders.
The author also includes an 8 week outline on how to use the lessons.

Sophie Wangs Phonics Book for Adult ESL Students

LINC Themes
Sophie Wang
Learning to decode on the letter-level is an inevitable process for a student to become a successful
reader, but many phonics books are either designed for children or for illiterate adult native speakers,
not for adult ESL students. Sophie Wang was inspired by her adult ESL students to develop phonics
materials for ESL learners with practical, useful content for everyday English. This is an important
distinction; the vocabulary which interests adult ESL learners is different from early education students
because of their needs and motivation. A five-year old may be interested in learning pony, but an adult
ESL driver may eagerly want to learn Private Parking - especially if they have been ticketed or towed!
Sophies 175 page book covers 10 LINC themes of interest to adult ESL students.

Sophie Wangs Literacy Foundation For Adult ESL

A Six Book Series - 12 LINC Themes
Sophie Wang
The foundation phase of literacy can be challenging for both students and instructors. Sophie frames the
lessons around themes because materials in context always work better to keep adult learners
interested. Relevant themes motivate the students during the sometimes intimidating learning process.
Three general principles are followed in developing this series:
Learning for Real
Effective Repetition
Multi-Level Reality
In Duncan BC youll find the worlds largest hockey stick. Dont try to pick it up, it weighs 28, 3338
kilos! Its 62 metres long! It comes with an enormous hockey puck.
This series contains over 500 easy-to-use, illustrated worksheets. Check www.eslresources to see a

in isolation. Each book in this series is organized around groups of prefixes or suffixes that deal with
common themes.

A basic presentation of the eight parts of speech and their functions in English sentences.
The suffixes/prefixes are introduced.
The first page of the lesson is filled out together as a class.
A matching activity provides further introduction to the suffixes and prefixes.
A list of common words that contain the suffix/prefix is discussed as a class.
Sentence Practice A. In the cloze activity students choose words from the Word Bank, alter them
and complete the sentences.
Sentence Practice B gives students a structured opportunity to change an underlined word to a new
word with the suffix/prefix and make an altered sentence e.g., Sam bakes pies and cakes. / Sam is
a baker. The words to be changed are underlined in Part B of each practice.
Sentence Practice C is the same as B but the students are asked to determine on their own which
words to change. All of the words to be changed are included in the list found on the second
page of the lesson, so students will always be able to refer to the list to see which words in the
practice sentences can be combined with the suffix/prefix.
Unit Review - Sentence Practice Quiz: Students are presented with sentences from the previous
sentence exercises and they are required to change a word to a new word with the suffix/prefix and
make an altered sentence.
Unit Review - Four In A Row: Students attempt to place four consecutive markers in any direction on
the board by giving correct sentences using the words given with a Unit suffix or prefix.
Unit Review - Dominoes: Root word and suffix/prefix pieces are paired to make a word. Students
can begin with 5 dominoes and take turns constructing some sort of shape (circle, rectangle, house,
car) by forming correctly spelled words
Unit Review - A Board Game: Players move around the board by making new words that contain a
suffix/prefix joined to the word on the card that has been drawn. Depending on the degree of
difficulty desired, players can be asked to spell the new word. They can also be asked to use the
word in a sentence.

The Question Box is a versatile tool for any ESL classroom. It consists of 200 questions with each
question on its own individual card. Each card is the size of a business card. At first glance teachers
think of conversation cards, and they would be right. Each student picks a card and then mingles with
the class and asks his/her question to individual students. In addition, The Question Box is easily
adapted for reading, writing, listening, and speaking. For example the teacher can ask a student to
choose a card and read it to the class. The class can either answer the question orally or write their
answers. There are many ways to use The Question Box. Helpful suggestions on how to adapt the
Question Box are included in each set.

Romeo & Juliet

Three Levels For Beginner ESL & Literacy Students
Adapted by Rose Coffey
Teachers frequently ask for age-appropriate stories for their young adult and adult students at the beginner level. This book includes three adaptations of Romeo and Juliet for beginners. The beginner student
only has to learn 96 words to understand the simplest adaptation. And these 96 words are ones that
they need every day in their lives! Only three words in the story are not on the most commonly used
words list: Romeo, Juliet, and Tybolt. If the students can describe the basic simplified plot of the play
with only 96 words, imagine what else they will be able to speak about. This book is ideal for the teacher
who has a class of beginner students at a variety of levels. Each of the three adaptations comes with its
own vocabulary list and exercises. The exercises include:
verb tense exercises
fill in the blanks
true or false
word finds
crosswords
adjectives
nouns
bingo
syllables
spelling tests
alphabetical order
a unit on family

right, for example Maria. The card states the question and three possible answers. For example, What
is Marias favourite meal of the day? A. Dinner. B. Lunch. C. Breakfast. Each student guesses what
Marias answer will be by placing an A, B, or C facedown and place bets by placing a 5, 10, or 20 betting
card facedown. Maria reveals her answer and then the other students reveal their cards. Points are
awarded. Repeat with a new student drawing a question card.

Out of Your Chairs! 40 Active Games for ESL

Dani MacArthur & Thane Ladner
Out of Your Chairs! was developed in ESL classrooms. The authors saw the need to supplement the
traditional desk, pen and paper language lessons with active, physical and communicative activities.
Students can only sit for a certain period of time before their capacity to learn diminishes. Active ESL
games present a structured, enjoyable was to continue learning a new language. Some students learn
languages with their whole body and Out of Your Chairs! provides a variety of ways of experiencing
English kinesthetically. During the games students communicate with each other and the teacher.
Students come to life! Shy students forget about being self-conscious as they become caught up in the
game. Hard-to-motivate students are suddenly working, driven by the desire to win. The games index
lets you see at a glance the type of game, level, preparation time and playing time etc. The games are
coded by level, beginner to advanced. Each game comes with straightforward instructions and has
many reproducible templates and card sets. The games have an instant appeal but the more they are
played the better they work. The games are divided into five categories:

Pat Dyck
This book is for students who are reading sentences and ready to move on to stories. Each of the sixteen uplifting, high-interest stories in this book are 100-150 words long and written in about 20 short
simple sentences. The author found her students could read simple sentences but were intimidated by
the paragraph form of news stories. She presents each story first in a comic strip form - pictures with key
nouns and verbs. The second version of each story is in an easy-to-read sentence-by-sentence format,
i.e., each sentence is on its own line. Later in each unit your students will read the story in paragraph
form. This technique is called scaffolding, the students is successfully eased into paragraph reading,
and it works .There are a wide variety of readytophotocopy exercises to reinforce new vocabulary and
ideas. The exercises:
comprehension
true or false
pronunciation tips
short answers
sentence completion
corrections
negative sentences
verbs tenses
people, places & things
past tense verb rules
questions with did
plurals with es
fill in the blanks
pronouns
sequencing
and many more
