Zero preparation activities for ESL teachers #6: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Описание: This three-minute video outlines a very simple, yet highly effective speaking task that gets students talking and helps you find out more about their interests. The task can be used as either a warm-up at the beginning of a lesson or as an end of class fluency task in almost any lesson.

Here we continue our series on zero preparation classroom activities for ESL teachers. This series is here to help you out at those times when you have far too many classes, far too much correction, but nowhere near enough time. It’s also here to provide you with a toolkit for those horror occasions when you show up to class and realize you’ve left all your materials at home.

Throughout the series we’ll look at a variety of tasks, including vocabulary building, reading, speaking, and listening activities, that you can use to engage your students and that will cost you zero preparation time. No photocopying, no typing, no printing. Just you walking into the classroom and getting started.
