Listening Comprehension: Top 10 laws the queen does not need to follow. (with key)
This listening comprehension was my students� exam this year. Daniela gave me the idea with her worksheet using the same link. I have 20 true-false statements based upon the youtube-video by Rebecca Felgate. She brings the video in an enthusiastic way that is very much appreciated by youngsters. The recent issue with Sadiq Khan and Trump is also in...

Writing exercise: The best thing that has happened to me during this lockdown.
This is a writing exercise that my 10th graders have to do. We have decided to only focus now on those subjects that really matter next year for our students when they have to make a more explicit choice in their studies. The students that will major in English, have to do this task. There is also a video that explains the task a bit better https:/...

Irregular verbs part 5 (memory cards)
My students have to know about 160 irregular verbs. To make it easier for them to study, I have split up the whole list in 6 parts (each of about 27 verbs). Each part is copied on a different colour (heavy) paper so that studying is made easier. Students are supposed to cut out the flashcards and keep them in a little box. One side has the translat...

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...

Active and Passive Voice. Step by step grammar guide
I have noticed that students find this format much easier to study whether a sentence is active or passive and how to turn it into the other voice. Especially for distance learning, this has proven to be extremely useful. It is a word document, so it can easily be edited to suit your needs.

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/...

Where the Wild Roses grow
This is a listening comprehension (with answer key) I have used for my students in year 4/grade 10 (Belgium). You will need the song by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue to be able to use it since it is based upon this song. I have used a special technique to mark the first question, but that is just to avoid that the studens will guess (True - False que...

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...
