Hi All,
I teach English for an international shoe company that has factories in several countries. I thought as a nice gesture, I would add a weekly English lesson (without mandatory homework). Since it's only once a week, it needs to be easy and effective.
I was thinking:
Part 1: 2 idioms related to a theme with similar grammar.
Part 2: 5 grammar exercises related to each idiom
Let me know your thoughts please.
Thanks in advance.
Sending a weekly ESL exercise to co-workers
Moderators: Dimitris, maneki neko2, Lorikeet, Enrico Palazzo, superpeach, cecil2, Mr. Kalgukshi2
Fun, fun and fun!
I think if you are planning an add-on class, its a good idea to do something fun that will be interesting and useful. I don't know your precise situation, but I've got a few examples of lessons and handouts that business students have enjoyed.
A nice self-contained lesson is on sound-scripting:

I have a little lesson on common mistakes made by PowerPoint presenters, a guide to some speechwriting tricks and a guide to body-language it can be found at: http://www.jamesabela.co.uk/bus/PPTresources.html
I also have a nice lesson on dress-codes, which could be easily adapted for shoes: http://www.jamesabela.co.uk/genmaterials/Dresscodes.pdf
And if you download, you'll find some interesting notes on making requests, http://www.jamesabela.co.uk/bus/21stcenturywriting.pdf
Anyway, I hope some of these inspire you to do something creative.
