ESL Vocabulary Activities: For Teenagers and Adults

ESL Vocabulary Activities

Years ago, I was assigned “Vocabulary” at a winter camp for university students. My first thought was, “Oh no…this is going to be so boring!” Then, I got to work coming up with a variety of fun and interesting activities and games to help my students remember new English words.

The result is this book of fun, engaging vocabulary activities. I like to mix things up in the classroom and keep things fresh for my students. Not only are they happier, but I think they learn better too because their brains have to adapt to new things.

Keep on reading to find out more about how to help your students learn new English words. It’s easier than you might think, so don’t worry. Help is here.

Like to Save Time? Me Too!

Whether you’re a first-time English teacher, an experienced but overwhelmed instructor, or someone without a textbook thrown into the sea without a life-jacket, you need more activities for your classes. If you’re tired of wading through the junk on the Internet to find the ESL vocabulary activities that aren’t terrible and that you can actually use in your classes, then Jackie and Jennifer are here to help.

During their 20 years teaching English, they’ve developed countless games and activities for their students. Now, they’re sharing their favourite ideas for English vocabulary games and activities with ESL teachers throughout the world.

Best of all, the words that you’re trying to teach your students will become more memorable and meaningful. If your goal is to help students with vocabulary acquisition for the long-term, you’ve found your book! Consider using this along with something like a podcast for a complete ESL vocabulary picture.
