Teaching notes

Fourteen everyday classroom situations on the front, with the English phrase to say on the back: when you don't understand, don't know a word, need a pen or arrive late. It's for A1 learners of any age and works best in the first weeks of a course, so English becomes the language of the classroom.

Read the situation aloud and let the class say the phrase together before you flip. Then act a situation out, such as looking lost or dropping your pen, and ask learners for the phrase. Put the phrases on the wall and praise anyone who uses one in class. Print it as a matching worksheet, or switch it to Match up for a second round.
