Get ready for the PET Cambridge exam

When teaching I usually encourage students to ask questions and ask for more information than the one given in the book, I trully belive that students learn what they really need to learn. Besides, it's a good way to keep them engaged and create a good class atmosphere.

During a course to prepare the PET Level Cambridge exam, I collected all those questions, and answers, together with some resources.

Films Review - Fill in the gaps

Do you know what are the famous Sci-Fi films Interstellar, Gravity and 2001 Space Odyssey about?

Read the following reviews from the Reader's Digest and fill in the gaps with articles first, and prepositions later.

You can download and edit the file.

Grammar with Educaplay

Thinking about my 1st ESO students, and the problems they have to choose the right option between Present Simple and Present Continuous, I have made some activities with Educaplay to practise it.

This time I have prepared three games;

• a fill in the gap activity
• a crossword
• a test

I know some of my students will like these activities, they are really enthusiastic about all these things.

You'll find these games in the 1st ESO blog or below.

Listening Activities

Some of my youngest students are asking me for Listening activities to impreove this skill.
Well, I've found this very interesting and complete site, full of Listening activities.

Click on the image to visit the web

Here you can find a lot of Listening Quizzes very well organised into different levels and topics.

Randall provides you not only with Listening Quizzes, but also Grammar explanations and exercises, Vocabulary, Pre-listening activities, Post-listening activities and even Online investigation exercises to go on practising.

I really recomend this site, either to use it online in the classroom or to encourage your students to practise listening on their own.

When your enter the site, you can see a huge list of Listening Quizzes. The only thing you have to do, not easy one, is to choose one of them. Just click on the title and you´ll see this scheme:

As I said before, there are lots of things to do.

Thanks to Randall practising listening is now easier and funnier.
