March Blog Post

Welcome March! I don’t know about you all but I am so happy to see February in the rearview mirror. Bring on March! Hopefully we’ve seen the last of the snow and cold and March goes out like a lamb. As always, there’s a lot going on in March. We have Women’s Day on March 8th and on the next day, we have the start of daylight saving time. On March 17th, there’s St. Patrick’s Day - a great time to teach luck idioms. Nowruz and Spring are on March 21st, both are great topics to cover. Ramadan started on March 1st and Lent will begin March 5th. And, of course we have March Break from March 10-14. As you can see, it is a month of fabulous topics. Here is a link with activities for the March Break: https://www.todocanada.ca/march-break-activities-toronto/ Check out ELLI.com for prepared lessons on Women’s Day, Nowruz/Nauruz, Ramadan and Spring - all at different levels. ESL Brains has a lesson on Spring: https://eslbrains.com/spring-is-in-the-air/ As always, a b...

February Blog Post

February Fun! The beginning of February means you have made it (or almost made it) through changing CLB levels on your proficiency lists, doing reports and conference summaries, and filling out the assessment logs! So, bravo! As always, this month is chalk full of lots of teaching topics. You might have already talked about Lunar New Year with your students, but it’s a great time to talk about personal characteristics and qualities. A fun activity to try with your students is looking at their zodiac animals and reading descriptions to see if they agree or disagree with the associated characteristics. Here is a great place to find resources and specifically flashcards on the Chinese Zodiac: Chinese Horoscope vocabulary flashca…: English ESL worksheets pdf & doc Some more favourite topics this month are of course: Valentine’s Day, Family Day, Canada Flag Day, and Black History Month just to name a few. Something which all students have great fun talking about is marri...

Yay for May!

With the cold weather days behind us we can look forward to enjoying the sun, warmer weather, and the new growth of spring! Also, we are almost in our final stretch of teaching before the summer – yay! There are some fun things to talk about this month with your students. With cherry blossoms in season, why not have your students read about the best places to catch the picture worthy blooms: Where to see cherry blossoms | Destination Ontario Add some questions and turn it into a reading skill using activity! A favourite topic in May is, of course, Mother’s Day. Moms don’t have it easy, and this topic can definitely lead to discussions about gender roles and parenting. Here’s a great lesson for the intermediate level for this topic: Microsoft Word - 05 Mother's Day Lesson.docx (website-files.com) If you haven’t seen this video, especially if you teach the higher levels the following video is a must watch!
