Hi Tony

Other beginner learning materials you could adapt are available from englishmyway.co.uk and https://esol.britishcouncil.org/content/learners/grammar-and-vocabulary/beginners 
esol.britishcouncil.org
Lessons for ESOL beginners on different topics to help practise speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
The English My Way resources include lesson plans using participative ESOL approaches where teachers need to use local information and images so could easily be made relevant to most settings.


Best of luck

Hello all
The Scottish Qualifications Authority have some really good beginner topics which, if you use your imagination, can turn into activities to consolidate the learning.

Dear All

 

Do you know where we might find language-related activities for non-formal English language classes in Kurdistan? 12 teachers from the University of Reading are mentoring 12 (low-level) teachers of English who are very new to learner-centred language teaching. Our mentees seem to be using activities which would be more suitable for children, while their students are 16-19 year old men and women made up of Syrian (Kurdish speaking refugees), Internally Displaced Persons (Arabic speakers) and home community (Kurdish speaking Iraqis).

 

I can provide more details if you have any suggestions.

 

Many thanks

Tony
