What will my ESL young learners learn?

Apart from the skills you can develop by following the included suggestions, you can also teach useful dialogue exchanges that your kids could apply to other contexts. Below is the text included in the cards, but of course you could also use the images to work with different language too.

  • Wake up!
  • I think it’s Christmas day.
  • No, it isn’t Christmas yet.
  • There are ….. more sleeps. …… whole sleeps.
  • Awww! I can’t wait.
  • Don’t worry. Let’s find a Christmas tree.
  • Don’t worry. Let’s send Christmas cards.
  • Don’t worry. Let’s wrap presents.
  • Don’t worry. Let’s make a snowman

What do teachers say about the resources?

Wow! I used this resource for one of my labs and it has been explosive. Children were super excited and of course, I was as well! Nothing to complain about! Great work!

I have recently started to use storytelling in my classes and ESL labs. Fiona’s resources are a real treasure. Lots of useful tips and ready-to-use material to bring the story to life and help kids use the language. Excellent, couldn’t ask for more.

The resources were great and saved me so much time, the teaching tips gave me ideas. We had a lot of fun with it : the kids loved the activities, learnt the animals and movements and understood the story. And I feel like there is so much more I could have done. Thank you !

I found this resources few weeks ago and now I’m always have a look first on this web. The range of activities are awesome!

I love the resources and the kids seemed to enjoy too. I had a hard time today with a mixed-age group (from 6 to 14!), but the abundance of differentiated activities Fiona offers made it much easier for me to make the time spent together meaningful.

Most importantly, my students really enjoyed the process of making their own mini book. It also served as an assessment, as I was able to see clearly which students were having issues with reading and matching – but it didn’t feel like an exam or test for the students at all. I only wish I’d found this at the beginning of the academic year.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, of course! Maybe you have the time and enjoy creating things, but it has to be said that being a young learner teacher can involve a HUGE amount of extra work making materials. Even searching for appropriate images can take forever. Give yourself a break!

All my materials have been tried and tested in the classroom and I have received lots of positive feedback from your fellow teachers. As well as having 20+ years of teaching experience, I am also a qualified trainer for the Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate), so you can rely on the quality.

Yes! With lower levels you may choose to work on a fewer number of items at a time, and with higher levels you can stretch them with the whole gambit.

These card sets aren’t designed to be used for a whole lesson, but they can certainly be used across a complete series of lessons on the story. Why not extend it with making simple puppets to dramatise the story? Check out the Bear Marionette or the Snowman Peg Puppets in the resource section.

Once you’ve had a chance to use your materials, don’t forget to come back to leave a review. As a thank you, you’ll receive a 20% discount on any other resource : )
