This lesson plan will show you how to apply your grammar: Mark- " Hi, I haven't seen you in ages!, how have you been?". Sam- " Well thanks, yes it's been too long, why don't we catch up over a coffee?". Mark- " Sounds great, are you free next Tuesday?". Sam- " Ok, where would you like to meet?". Mark- " How about the little coffee shop next to Zara?". Sam- " Can we meet at 1pm because I have to get back to work?". Mark- " Perfect, so I will see you at the coffee shop at 1pm on Tuesday!".

Most of my students have approached me because they want to be able to hold a conversation in English. I have a unique method that really challenges students to think in a second language. Introducing students to hypothetical situations involves and engages you to start, continue and end a conversation. Using a format which includes topical subjects, my classes really help to develop confidence, vocabulary, pronunciation and voice tones that are essential in expression. As a published author, I use modern interactive lesson plans which help students to form a structure for learning. Students need flexibility so I teach classes around your lifestyle, if you feel that you are ready to develop your conversational skills simply contact me using the form on this blog. Alternatively just add me to Skype using the button to your right. My classes are all taught via Skype, each class is one hour long and you pay for the course by Paypal.

This is a lesson which requires a very lexical approach. I have listed some sentence constructions which are common place when giving directions. You will see a large brick built building in front of you. Turn left Turn right Continue or carry on going straight. Take the first/ second turning on your right/ left. When you get to the first set of traffic lights turn right. Follow the road round. Take the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or last exit. You will see a ( landmark ) When you get to a junction continue straight. There will be a petrol station on your left. The .........( destination) is just there.

Intonation

What is Intonation? Most students have difficulties understanding this subject, as it is hard enough learning set words and phrases. Intonation is a level of voice tone that is applied to the way in which we pronounce words and phrases. It's not just the meaning of words that necessarily matter, but the way in which we say them. look at the following scenario: David; " Hi Christina, how are you? I haven't seen you in ages!". Christina: " Fine thanks, yes its been too long, what have you been up to?". David wants to display empathy and generate a response, so he would demonstrate this by raising the pitch of his voice on the words hi, the phrase how are you and the word ages. This has been done so that those words carry emotion. Without this increase in tone, the very meaning of the sentence could be different. This is an important factor for anyone who is learning English as a second language because we use this technique in both social and busine
