Listening is a really important skill and there are lots of activities we can do in class to help develop this ability which do not require a formal listening practice set up (CDs, videos, etc.). Of course, having regular listenings in class is great but we can also combine this with listening to the teacher and fellow students. Below are some fun and interactive ways to provide listening practice in your lessons.

We are currently working on some kids ESL songs that you can download and play in your lessons!
The songs are based on ESL lesson themes and vocab related to these themes. Some of the songs are adapted versions of well-known children’s songs (e.g. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes) and some are original songs which we have written to slide nicely into your themed lessons (e.g. a weather theme song).

In the run up to Christmas, putting together and teaching Christmas themed lessons (see our Christmas Lesson Plans) creates a really nice learning experience for our students and is one of the highlights of the teaching calendar.
On problem though, is using traditional Christmas carols in our Christmas lessons. Almost all contain multiple verses with complex vocabulary which is often antiquated and therefore unused in normal speech.

We’ve all been there. We’ve planned a great lesson with lots of fun and stimulating activities, the kids in the class are great, you’ve got wonderful materials … but it is all spoilt by one or two kids who seemingly have no interest in your lesson or learning English.
Or it could be small things where you just can’t seem to get control of the class in the way you would like to: constantly having to repeat instructions, always asking certain students to be quite or stop poking their friend with their pencil or just trying to motivate slow, unresponsive kids.
