Todd: Hey, Shantel, what do you do on the weekend?

Shantel: On the weekend, I wake up and, first, I make breakfast.

Todd: Oh, what do you make?

Shantel: I like to make toast.

Todd: All right. I often eat toast, too.

Shantel: Do you put butter on your toast?

Todd: I do. I put butter and jam.

Shantel: Ew, I love butter and jam on my toast.

Todd: Do you eat cereal?

Shantel: No. I used to, but not anymore.

Todd: On the weekend, I don't eat cereal. On the weekend, I cook a nice breakfast, but I eat cereal during the week. What else do you do on the weekend?

Shantel: Let's see. After I eat breakfast, I clean the kitchen and make my bed. What about you?

Todd: I also clean my house. I clean my rooms. I vacuum. I wash the windows. I wash the dishes. I do my laundry. I do that on Saturday, but on Sunday, I have fun.

Shantel: What do you do for fun?

Todd: I go to the park. I play sports. I play soccer at the park. Sometimes, I ride my bike. Sometimes, I go hiking. I do lots on Sunday. On Sunday, I relax. I don't study. I don't work, and I don't clean my house.

Shantel: Nice.

Todd: What do you do on Sunday?

Shantel: I also enjoy my time on Sunday. I really like to meet my friends and, sometimes, we go to festivals or visit new cities, and we eat a lot of really good food.

Todd: Oh, that sounds fun.

Shantel: Actually, we also really enjoy camping. Do you like camping?

Todd: I love camping. I love the outdoors. I go hiking often.

Shantel: Oh, me, too.

Todd: Oh, that's cool. What about Sunday evening?

Shantel: Oh, Sunday evening, I relax. I cook a big dinner, and I listen to music, and, sometimes, I read my book, but, often, I go to sleep very early on Sunday.

Todd: Oh, wow.

Shantel: And you?

Todd: Well, on Sunday, I don't cook. I usually order food. I order pizza or maybe I eat at a restaurant, and then, later in the evening, on Sunday, I always watch TV. My favorite TV show is on Sunday night.

Shantel: What's your favorite TV show?

Todd: My favorite TV show is called Billions.

Shantel: Billions?

Todd: Yeah. It's about money and power in New York. It's very interesting.

Shantel: Nice. Maybe I should watch it.

Todd: Oh, you should, but you go to bed early.

Shantel: Yes, around nine o'clock.

Todd: Oh, okay, maybe you can see it.

Shantel: Okay.

The ETF is continuing to provide support to ESOL practitioners. Alongside the general resources, specific resources have been created to support practitioners who are working with ESOL learners. These resources can be used to support anybody who might be referred to as being at a 'pre-Entry' level. We refer to them as 'New to ESOL' learners, and we include specific resources to better meet the early integration needs of refugees who are new arrivals.

Our ESOL resources for teachers can be found in the searchable document library below or on the ESOL Teachers section of our Learning Platform.

Looking for ESOL learners' materials? Explore free modules on our learning platform.

In December 2020 the Education and Training Foundation commissioned NATECLA to investigate the participation of ESOL learners on Functional Skills (FS) English courses. While anecdotally we knew that the number of ESOL learners accessing Functional Skills has risen dramatically, we did not have information on numbers and needs. NATECLA created a survey, to which 110 providers responded; and conducted focus groups. The report provides a wealth of detail, with three stand-out findings:

1. Over a quarter of providers reported that ESOL learners made up more than 60% of their learners on Functional Skills courses. This applied especially to 16-19 year-olds on study programmes

2. There is major concern in the sector that Functional Skills English courses do not meet the needs of people whose first language is not English

3. FS English teachers do not necessarily have the skills to teach learners of ESOL

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

In the teacher's section you can also alter the sets of content, so that only some of the images appear. Additionally, you can get embed code to add this game to a blog or web page and you can create direct links to the game with content pre-selected. As an example, the link below will start the game with the jobs content automatically loaded.

Alternatively, this link will start the game with the food content automatically selected and loaded.

Use the teacher's section to create more links or embed code.

This game is a version of the classic game concentration. Intended here to help students learn vocabulary items by matching images and words. You can also listen to the audio when you look at the images. The game is simple and hopefully fun. You click on pairs of squares and match the words to the pictures. If you reveal a matching pair of picture - word then you get points and those squares disappear. You have to match all the images and words as quickly as possible. The concentration part comes in remembering where the images or words are. The time you have to match all the squares runs down quickly and so you have to be faster and faster in each round.

As with other games you can choose the content you like from the list of vocabulary items. The same set of vocabulary items repeats continuously and so you can get repeated exposure to the same target language. Then you can exit and switch to a different set of vocabulary items and play again. At the end of the game there is a table to show the highest scoring learners.

Matching the pairs helps learn the vocabulary items as it allows for an association between the images, text and audio. By revealing the image and hearing the audio at the same time, an association is formed. Then when the matching text is revealed, the association is further strengthened. Because of this, it is quite important to hear and listen carefully to the audio. While I don't think it is possible to completely learn a whole set of content just from playing this game, I think it is possible to learn a few new items from a set while also reviewing other items.

The previous version of this game had a timer which ran down quickly and required you to move and think quickly. A few people suggested that it would be better if the game were slower and the user were able to think without being rushed. That that basis, this version does not have a time as a challenge element; however, there it does keep track of the number of turns, or reveals, that have been made. It is hoped that this will maintain an element of challenge, so that the game is still interesting, while also allowing enough time to think and focus on the items.

I really hope that you like this game and can have fun learning and improving. Leave a comment below in any language you like. Comments need to be approved by me first due to excessive spam and offensive postings.

Six volunteers learn the skills needed to work as a team on a search and rescue challenge. The children explain the skills they could bring to team-working. After the challenge is explained, the children plan the jobs they might do. They recognise that a leader is necessary if the team is to work successfully, and identify the skills a leader needs.

This clip is useful to illustrate what 'working together' means and to help children develop both team and leadership skills. Discuss what makes a good team member and what skills are needed to be a leader. Children could then choose a leader for their class (or two, if it's a big class). Encourage pupils to agree on a list of 8-10 jobs that would help keep the classroom running smoothly. Working together, they have to decide who does what and why. Once the activity is completed, discuss feelings and reactions. (Has everybody been listened to? Was the leader guiding the group in the right way? What problems have they encountered? Was communication good?)

Judah, 10, from Cardiff and Reenie, 9, from Port Moresby tell us about their lives in these two coastal capitals.
Both describe how they enjoy the balance of the two environments, the city and the sea, and how they make the most of the two settings so close to them.

We learn how they each incorporate the waterfront in their daily or weekly routine, to swim, eat ice cream, walk the dog, play and hunt fossils.

Judah and Reenie illustrate a fondness and a strong sense of identity within capital cities of small but proud nations that are situated within the enclave of larger, more famous nations.

Judah attends a Welsh-speaking school. Reenie sings the national anthem every morning with her classmates.

They talk about the challenge of speaking multiple languages and switching between languages.

Together these two children's lives illustrate the cultural and geographical similarities and differences of two distinct places.
