I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Siamese Twins - Words pairs or groups - Idioms
A little worksheet on binomials and other word groups that students often get wrong (give and take, give or take, here and there, here nor there etc.).

Non-Gradable Adjectives worksheet 1
A short worksheet on some different non-gradable adjectives. There is a rather short explanation to cut down on the note-taking in class and then a substitution exercise.

Alternatives to Very
Pre-intermediate levels for teachers who are fed up with their students say"very" all the time. A nice little dice game for them to practice the different ways of saying it and a few, short explanations of the vocabulary and usage. Extra examples can be added every class until they are comfortable with the alternatives.

How to Complain - activity worksheet
Another one for Aftab57: I have used this a fair bit and found it to be very helpful. Also, the students love it. There is a little bit of grammar at the beginning but it is all laid out so, no need to spend time writing on the board. I get the students to read the sentences out and then get them to give me other examples. There is then a dice game...

Heteronym Reading Exercise
Heteronyms are words that are written the same but pronounced differently and have different meanings. Here is a little worksheet that I�ve used for a few years with my advanced groups to test their pronunciation.

SWOT Analysis - Company Adjectives - Business English Worksheet
Having to teach business English on the subject of SWOT analysis can be as boring as hell. So, I did a little worksheet on company personalities/cultures to help the students along. I�ve tried it and it works. They seemed to enjoy it and were quite motivated during the exercise. Perhaps not everybody�s cup of tea though.
