I’ve always been fascinated with the cockney rhyming slang. It is simply so much fun. And this is what learning and teaching English is actually about, isn’t it? I know cockney is not the most useful thing in the world but it’s almost the end of the school year so what about just having a little bit of relax and pure joy of playing with the language? I hope you and your students will simply enjoy this lesson. Let me know if you liked it.
This is a huge revision set which you can use with your teenagers before different kinds of exams (E8, basic and extended matura, FCE, etc) as well as with your adult students. It consists of 14 parts, each one corresponding to a different exam topic: Man, House, School, Work, Social Life, Food, Shopping, Travelling, Culture, Sport, Health, Science and Technology, Nature, Crime and Society. In each part you will find 4 tasks: – SNAP: a picture connected with the topic, – VOCAB: eight words or expressions connected with the topic, – CREATE: a photo and a question or writing task – STORY: a topic for story telling
This is a very universal set. And because of it you can adapt it easily to the level of your students and your needs. You may use a certain part as a warm-up only or use it as the basis of your whole lesson. The SNAP and VOCAB tasks are just photos and words or phrases on different levels. So it’s totally up to you and your creativity what you decide to do with them.
I hope this will help you have very effective and enjoyable revision lessons with your students. Let me know whether you have found the ideas useful. So help yourself and bon appetit!

This lesson was created during The Women’s Strike when I cancelled all my lessons and at last had some time to make a lesson which I was thinking about for quite some time. It is definitely a conversational class which deals with the current situation in our country. It focuses mainly on the ways women were and are still perceived by men, by other women and by themselves. The video (the link of which is included) is quite strong so if you want to have this lesson with your teen students, you’d better skip it, especially if you teach in a public school. I tried to smuggle a little bit of grammar and vocabulary here, all wrapped in speaking activities. The topic is so universal you may use it whenever you want. You don’t have to talk about it right now (if you are fed up with all the discussions in social media). Women’s (or Human) Rights will always be a hot topic worth discussing.
This is a lesson inspired by Sylwia Clayton’s Lesson Starters. Since autumn is coming, the days are getting colder and it’s harder to warm up a little bit, I guess coffee is a perfect lesson topic. You will find a lot of questions for discussion, a Kahoot game on how much you know about coffee and some quotations about coffee that your students will be able to reflect on. Your students will practise mainly speaking but also a little bit of grammar (conditionals). I hope this lesson will cheer you and your students up during the gloomy days of autumn.

This time I’ve created a lesson for lower levels. Although its main aim is to use Present Simple in statements, questions, and negations, it focuses mainly on speaking to make learning grammar more meaningful. Your students will talk about different jobs as well as describe other people’s and their own daily routines. They will also practice telling the time. The lesson is quite simple so it can be easily adjusted to your needs.
This is a ready lesson on Mindfulness. All you need to do is click on the link in the shop and use the presentation in class. The students will discuss mindfulness, do the reading task, enrich their vocabulary, involve all their senses. There are also 3 videos recommended which you can use as an idea of a flipped lesson, do in class or set as homework. This is not an easy lesson but my students enjoyed it a lot. I do hope yours will do as well.
