What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Lesson Collection #3 - Lesson 11c
This fantastic pair-work lesson is guaranteed to bring any class to life. And it's really short (about 15 minutes) so it's a perfect ice-breaker or an even better send off activity.
While having a lot of fun, students will be working with sentence parts (verbs, adjectives, etc.), building vocabulary and practicing singular vs. plural nouns.
This lesson begins as a 'cloze' activity (fill in the gaps, information gathering), but when students begin reading their scripts, no one will be able to keep a straight face.
There are several of these types of exercises in the EFL4U lessons, they're all fun and wacky.
Worksheet A is for the Doctor, Worksheet B is for the Patient. Together, students add the missing elements of the dialogue by providing their partner's with names of flowers, adjectives, carpenter's tools, sports verbs, etc.
When finished, they will read their dialogues. A typical conversation could look like the following:
Doctor: Hello. I'm Dr. Oink Oink Wilson.
Patient: Hi, my name is Hibiscus but everyone calls me banana head.
Doctor: Wow! That's a wonderful nickname.
Patient: Thanks.
Doctor: How can I help you?
Patient: Yesterday, I crashed into a leaf.
Doctor: Well, I'm afraid I have to cut off your foot....
And it just gets sillier and sillier. There are several of these types of exercises in the EFL4U lessons, they're all fun and wacky. They are:
The Lost City of Ohmygosh (See Lesson 11a above)
The Maitre d' (See Lesson 11b above)
An Original Story (See Lesson 11d below)
A Call to Santa (See Holiday Lesson Set - Xmas 01) -and-
Cupid's Solution (See Holiday Lesson Set - Valentines 02).

Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Dear Kurt,
I’d like to tell you that I find the activities wonderful. I teach young learners, adolescents, young adults, adults… and they work with all of them. All the lessons and worksheets are very creative and they foster my students’ motivation and participation.
Congratulations!!

Dear Kurt,
Feel free to quote me on this! I have found your lessons to be the most useful of all that I have found on the Net! The teacher’s guidance makes presenting the lessons a doddle and the students’ pages are fun, varied, stimulating, exciting and always of interest to my students.
I am a freelance EFL teacher and the students vary from Austrian teenagers, on school trips to London, to adults at a language centre. Your lessons are especially useful for the latter group as I often get called upon to cover a class at the last minute!
Keep the lessons coming please, Kurt - and many, many thanks!
Toni
Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!
