They are meant to enhance and bring variety to an already-existing English language teaching program. These activities are designed for ESL students who may need additional practice in grammar, conversation and word building. Each activity is accompanied by a lesson plan and suggested teaching techniques to assist the instructor in providing an interesting and successful lesson. The activities can also provide a useful resource for substitute teachers and tutors. No matter how good or complete the content of your textbook or curriculum may be, there will always be a need to fill in the gaps in knowledge and skills your students were assumed to have learned. These activities are designed to - provide students with fun group activities - encourage group interaction and discussion - increase individual student's speaking time during class - expand students' use of new vocabulary and expressions - review already-taught materials in a new way - keep the students' minds active and engaged - practice vocabulary and phrases in context - make inferences, evaluating choices and values in discussions - refresh grammar points that have already been taught. Making the Cards - To make a set of cards, cut along the dotted line. If you want to keep this book intact, make photocopies. For large classes make multiple copies. Card stock is recommended, but regular photocopy paper is fi ne. Place a rubber band around the cards and put them into a small envelope for easy handling and future storage.

Blast Your Way to Conversation Success!ESL Conversation Rocket helps students build a solid foundation for conversational English using grammar skills. This book was written by a teacher specifically for beginners and low-level learners. Throughout the book, students use their understanding of simple grammar points, as well as their personal life experiences, to have real, authentic conversations in English.The problem with many other ESL conversation books is that there is no scaffolding. Students are expected to just "talk." Now, imagine teaching a child to ride a bike without training wheels; the experience would be frustrating and painful. Herein lies the key to effective English conversation instruction: scaffolding! Just as children need training wheels to ride a bike, students need scaffolding to master conversation. Each unit of ESL Conversation Rocket is scaffolded using a simple and easily accessible grammar skill as a starting point. From there, students utilize an understanding of this grammar skill to build competence in conversation. Each unit is equipped with six student-centered exercises which gradually build in difficulty. The units culminate in "Real Life Conversation," where the training wheels are taken off and students have a chance to practice real, everyday conversation.Are you ready for conversation takeoff?

This book proposes that subjective expression shapes grammatical and lexical patterning in American English conversation. Analyses of structural and functional properties of English conversational utterances indicate that the most frequent combinations of subject, tense, and verb type are those that are used by speakers to personalize their contributions, not to present unmediated descriptions of the world. These findings are informed by current research and practices in linguistics which argue that the emergence, or conventionalization, of linguistic structure is related to the frequency with which speakers use expressions in discourse. The use of conversational data in grammatical analysis illustrates the local and contingent nature of grammar in use and also raises theoretical questions concerning the coherence of linguistic categories, the viability of maintaining a distinction between semantic and pragmatic meaning in analytical practice, and the structural and social interplay of speaker point of view and participant interaction in discourse.
