My adult male students especially enjoyed this and they found the vocabulary useful. This is vocabulary you don�t usually learn in class, but it definately kept my students attention. The blank worksheet is another file.

Template for the game "Hangman"
I was surprised how useful and fun the game Hangman is for teaching alphabet, vocabulary and pronunciation so I made a template that my students can use to play Hangman without killing too many trees.

I have partially used quotes from films and people so the exercises themselves are pretty easy for students, but translating and explaining some of the meanings may be a bit difficult for the teacher. I started the lesson with the question: "Do you make, take,...

plan and handout for teaching the alphabet to adults
This is a couple of sheets I put together to help me teach some true beginner adults the alphabet, numbers and some phonetics. One sheet is to hand out to the students as a study aid for them. The other is my strategy for teaching the individual letters, it is based on how frequently the letters are used in the English language. It�s really help...
