HI! I live and teach in Beijing, China. Most of my students are adults.(But also kids) I�ve designed a series of Business English lessons for use in Beijing, but they are easily adapted to any nationality. I�m a teacher on a budget, so I�m always looking for creative ways to use free resources. Celta, 2012.

HIGH INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED SALON - SPEED DEBATING

With no prep time, they must begin debating. They get a poker chip for each minute (up to 3) that they speak. If they stop talking for more than 10 sec...

This one focuses on a recent college graduate getting his/her first apartment and the decision process involved. It introduces prioritizing, amenities, choices, advertising, calling for informati...

HIGH BEGINNER TO LOW INTERMEDIATE -- LARGE NUMBERS DICTATION
Nothing fancy here, just a simple (but effective) numbers dictation. I use this a LOT. Fold the sheet in half, Student A reads to Student B, Student B writes. Then reverse. The sheets have different numbers. I chose these numbers specifically with Chinese students in mind, because in Chinese they speak each number, even the zeros. And, of course, w...

MODALS ILLUSTRATION
I created this as an illustration for a Business English lesson plan. But I thought it might also be useful as a standalone sheet for putting modals into visual context. I get the students to explain the sentences back to me so that I can check their understanding, then further check by having them give me new sentences using the target language. H...

WEATHER, SEASONS, TIMES OF DAY, TEMPERATURES - PART 2 OF 5
First, let me apologize for there being 5 parts to this. Once again, the file limits have bitten me in the backside! This lesson is a format I�ve been using for about 4 yrs, and it has always worked well for me. I usually just do it on the board, but decided to put it into a ppt for larger classes. ...
