Fast Food - a listening and vocabulary exercise for ESL students

h

Here is an interesting video you can use for one of your listening comprehension exercises. The conversation is between two men and takes place in a fast-food restaurant. Before giving this exercise, you can first have a short vocabulary exercise by giving your student words or idioms that might come up in the conversation such as "it will grow on you" and "a heart appetite/eater". One more thing you can do is to let your students practice saying some lines from the conversation to help them improve their pronunciation and voice intonations. What's nice about this video is that it also includes 5 short comprehension questions about the video. I hope you also find this useful. Cheers to us ESL tutors!

My student is a low beginner. Where and how do I start?

One way or another, we have or perhaps will experience teaching a student who is a low beginner. Generally, low beginners are described as having limited comprehension skills, communication, and vocabulary. They have difficulty understanding sentences despite repeating and altering the words. And so with this in mind, the question now is where should you start?

Based on my experience, I started the lessons with basic vocabulary. Before your student can understand grammar concepts it is important to familiarize them first with English words. You could follow a book or you could also base it on a theme. For instance, vocabulary words related to clothing, transportation, or occupation can be a good start. Basic English conversations can also be introduced. You could teach them about greetings, introductions or even how to express likes and dislikes. Once you see that your student has shown improvement and is knowledgeable about basic vocabulary words, then you can advance to the first steps of grammar.

Handling low beginners can be challenging because this kind of setting will test your effectiveness as an instructor. This may be a chance to assess yourself to find out how efficient you are in delivering the lessons to your students. Good luck! ^ ^

BBC Learning English

For additional English lesson resources you could use for your classes, here is a website I found that might help. BBC Learning English - For teachers contains teaching ideas and worksheets that are very useful and interesting. They also have a mini-series entitled The Flatmates. What's nice about The Flatmates is that each episode comes with a short grammar and vocabulary lesson. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Your students are entertained while they learn new lessons at the same time :)
