Adult ESL Speaking Activities Bundle - Conversation Skills for ELL Newcomers

These ESL speaking activities are perfect for adult ESL students and high school ELL newcomers. With these no-prep speaking lessons, English learners will practice useful conversational English skills and use common phrases for real-life communication such as saying hello and goodbye, asking for clarification, asking for and giving advice and opinions, agreeing and disagreeing, saying thank you and you're welcome, interrupting politely, and making polite requests. These are foundational conversation skills that will help English learners communicate like native English speakers!

These activities will give students the language and communication skills they need for academic contexts, professional communication, business English, and everyday conversation. Empower English learners and help them gain the speaking confidence they deserve.

Created by a veteran ESL teacher, these materials are way better than a textbook and will save you a lot of time. You can use these lessons if you are short on prep time, if you just need a break, or you can use them as emergency sub plans. This is my best-selling resource for a reason!
