How To Teach Conditionals - True In The Present And Future - An ESL Lesson PlanReganMcNeill1
As you know, teaching conditionals can be a bit tricky. What that means is that it is even more difficult to learn but especially important! So, this lesson is not recommended for beginner ELs and rather intermediate students. Students should be familiar with the basic past, present and future tenses. You should note this lesson includes a lot of content and concepts, so it is not necessary to complete it in one go. Rather, gauge how much you can get through based on a student’s proficiency and retention.

'Chitchat' was my initiation at the office to help juniors and colleagues to improve their English Communication Skills. There are two PPTs covering tenses and basic sentence structure. Along with that we have created an environment at workplace where team has to communicate in English, Write letters on their favorite topics (reviewed by other people of the team having good skills), and tea time group discussions.
This PPT is designed in very general manner and can be used in school, college, and even in office (like we do) to boost people with English.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

(a) She is So pretty
(b) She is such a pretty girl
(a) So + Adjective → "This test is so hard." (= very hard)
(b) such + adjective + noun → Lisa is such a beautiful woman . (NO "a" with uncountable nouns)
I don't want to swim in such dirty water.
Exception: so + [many/much/few/little] noun
"So" can come before a noun IF the adjectives many/much/few/little also come before the noun.
Examples:
"There are so many balloons!" (balloons = countable noun, so we use "many")
"Mike drank so much beer." (beer = uncountable noun, so we use "much")
"He has so few friends." (friends = countable noun, so we use "few")
"We have so little time." (time = uncountable noun, so we use "little")
