When should you teach the My Family House lesson?

One of the best ways to personalize your ESL lessons is to encourage students to talk about themselves. This lesson is perfect for group or individual ESL lessons, and will create conversations about different types of houses. The lesson is suitable for pre-intermediate students (B1 on the CEFR scale), and can be taught to children, teenagers and adults.

Our ESL lesson library also includes a vocabulary lesson covering vocabulary around typical features of a city, which would compliment this lesson well. Standard and Premium subscribers can search V11.1 – In The City in the lesson library.

How to teach this lesson about My Family House

To help students speak about their houses, this lesson includes many photos and new terms. First, the student sees a slide with images only. The next slide then shows the same images with suggested vocabulary. We recommend that for each set, you encourage the student to talk about each image, and then offer the vocabulary, without asking the student to memorize it. We included images and vocabulary to encourage the student, rather than force them to learn new lexical items here.

The teacher notes offer a lot of additional questions and prompts, to encourage the student to speak even more. You can access the teacher notes for free by signing up for a free Off2Class account.
