Topic 4 is probably our tastiest topic yet (I know, that was bad). Anyway, food is good because anyone can relate to it, even if our focus was on traditional Australian food.

click to learn! (click to view and download document)
The internet is an extremely important part of everyday lives now, with social media sites being one of the most visited sites in the world. Social media includes facebook, twitter, emails, foursquare, tumblr and youtube.
Chatting online can be extremely confusing to not only for ESL students, but even native English speakers!

Topic 2- Australian History
G'day mate!
This week, we have made a document which goes through Australian history. It can be accessed on Google Drive!
Anyway, I know that to many people not living in Australia, this may be a bit useless, however it is important to teach people about your country as well as your language, so feel free to take some ideas!
This lesson includes an article from The Telegraph about Ned Kelly, a famous Australian figure that many people surprisingly don't know much about! The idea is that it is a reading task for students, who can then follow some simple guiding questions afterwards.
Don't forget to discuss Australian history with your students! The best way of learning is through conversation!
Topic 1- Movies
The first topic is "movies", and hopefully it will be an interesting topic for people to engage in.

Movies are an important form of entertainment for people of all ages, and can be enjoyed in many different forms. There are many different kinds of genres of movies, and they appeal to different kinds of people. Movies are also almost always translated to different languages, so people around the world can enjoy it as well. Here are some trailers of upcoming and recent movies in English that you can enjoy.
After you have watched the trailers, ask yourself:
1. Will you go watch the movie now?
2. Was the trailer interesting and fun to watch?
3. What genre will you classify the movie?
Have fun!

Welcome
This blog is dedicated to programs that aim to teach English of all levels to others through the use of one-to-one tutoring in a relaxed environment. These worksheets have all been made to be used at a program we run at the local church, which has had success in helping teach English to others who have emigrated to Australia and aim to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the English language.
In this blog, we will be posting worksheets that we have made to guide our English classes. However, it is important to remember that you shouldn't just rely on worksheets to teach English; the best way of learning is through conversation!
