All About Me – ESL New Class Beginnings Worksheets & Activities for Adults

Use this ALL ABOUT ME pack to turn those strangers in your adult ESL classroom into people you know. This All About Me pack includes graphic organizers, activities, and worksheets with differentiation options. This makes a first day or week activity that is perfect for digging deep into who your students are while encouraging them to reflect on what makes them tick.

Students will love telling you all about how they want to learn and how they don't. You’ll love how you can use this resource to help them find patterns in what works for them and what does not. This resource goes beyond the basics without leaving them out. Oh, and this printable PDF file is print-n-teach ready.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

✅ 19 graphic organizers/worksheets (most have more than one version included)

TOPICS INCLUDE

favorites, where I’m from, family, learning preferences (in gerund & in infinitive form), feelings & emotions, future career, life timeline, thoughts/feelings on new class/learning English, busy life (student’s schedule in and out of the classroom), facts & opinions on family, education, and daily life, signs (really helps students who find communicating with others difficult), valued characteristics in teachers and classmates, AND MORE!

✅ two Find Someone Who activities with three levels for students to get to know their classmates

This packet of graphic organizers and worksheets comes in an ink-friendly printable PDF format to make your first day or week of class one you have confidence will go well. You’ll find out crucial information about your students that will help YOU be the best possible teacher they need and want. We’ve all got those classes with mixed abilities, and this packet helps ensure that you’ll have something for pretty much anyone. 

It’s designed for high beginner to advanced adult ESL students, and one of the best features of this is that you can use it again at the end of the year (or term, semester, session, etc.) to help students track where they’ve made growth and identify areas to challenge them to work on more.

This packet will highly engage your students whether they are doing the worksheets independently, with a partner, or sharing their responses with a small group. They’ll LOVE the personal, meaningful interaction they’ll have with their classmates and start building the class family that tears down the affective filter.

Sure, you want to know your students, but they also want to know you! Try filling out the ones you intend to use and posting them on the board or walls as models for your students to follow.

There is no prep. Print and use. You’re ready for the best start to your class ever!

EVERYTHING IN THIS PACK WAS CREATED FOR ADULT ESL STUDENTS

I created this with adult students in mind, so don't go looking for any cartoonish clipart or children's content because there isn't any.
