Passive and Active voice + answer key and some feedback. Sentences related to lockdown
I used this test in our pre-teaching. It comes with an answer key and some useful feedback. I use bookwidgets for these exercises. Similar to this test is a �retake� test for students who did not reach my required minimum (11/15) as well as a last chance test.

Different approach to an exam (advanced level). Writing, vocabulary, grammar and culture
This exam for my 10th-formers is with a completely different approach compared to what most of you are used to. Where I live, we have to make up our exams differently. No longer closed questions (where only one answer is possible), but we have to evaluate the use of practical English in a context. This involves a lot of writing, but is actually mor...

There�s music in idioms... or vice versa?
This is a short reading I wrote myself which has loads of idioms in it. In class, I made it a game. I read the text twice and students had to write down all the idioms they could hear. We then went over them all together and they tried to explain them from the context. The student who had found most, had won of course. All the explanations are unde...

20 songs with conditionals in one youtube-clip
As an introduction, I hand out the first sheet of paper (recto/verso) and let my students match both halves of the conditionals. At this stage they think they�re doing some kind of music quiz :D I let them work in pairs to do so. By means of correction, I let them listen to the film I made myself and which can be found on youtube https://youtu.be/...
