Latest Member Resources

Here's what our members are saying....

There are a lot of resources that are useful for teaching English. I downloaded the games which are handy and use them in my classes. With the games, my students never skip class or feel tired to learn English. The resources for teaching English helped my students progress in grammar, vocabulary, writing and comprehension. They also helped me a lot to guide my students to learn in a practical way.

I am an ESOL teacher, and the resources have helped my classes enormously. In particular, the speaking activities were a great help for my intermediate students before their exam. The website is user-friendly, and I will continue to utilise the resources - next term is reading and comprehension, so I will be looking for more resources from you. Thank you for such helpful activities and worksheets. They save me a lot of time in class preparation.

Teach This is an absolutely brilliant website, offering a vast amount of high-quality content, much of it free. Everyone involved in its creation deserves commendation. The leadership's vision has my deepest respect and gratitude. It's undoubtedly the best resource for English teachers, with its clear layout, easy navigation, concise messaging, and lack of invasive advertising - rare qualities that Teach This has perfected.

When I need to add or change an activity from my school’s curriculum, I always turn to TeachThis. While our curriculum is usually very good, it sometimes doesn’t fit well with my students. With TeachThis, I can easily find activities that match my topic and level, and the resources make my classes more interesting and varied. I look forward to the monthly newsletter and exploring new materials for inspiration. Please keep it up!

I like the efficiency and organization of the website. The resources cater to various levels with topic-based options for higher levels. The worksheets are very engaging and the answer keys are particularly helpful for teacher. The resources are also highly specific to levels and outcomes, making planning much easier. Finding what I need is simple and time-saving with the keyword search feature. Everything is clear and straightforward.

The easy and ready-to-go materials have helped me a lot during the last few years. Most of all I like the grammar games that activate my pupils and keep them engaged. My lessons have become way more playful and varied. Additionally, I like the grammar worksheets which I use to consolidate what I have worked on during class. The website is very user-friendly, and I have never had any difficulties finding what I was looking for.

A friend told me about the site, and it's awesome. I have found the Business English resources especially engaging and relevant for my students as the materials help them understand business writing and terms. My teaching experience has also improved from using the games on the site as they allow me to teach in a fun way. The user experience is outstanding. Great job!

I found Teach-This a long time ago when I started teaching. It's always had great resources. I really appreciate the grammar materials, board games, and group activities. They've saved me lots of time on lesson planning. The materials are easy to use and understand, making my job much simpler. The best thing is that many resources can be downloaded for free. I've used it for around 8 years, and it consistently offers great content.

I use the resources from the Games Section as part of my daily 30-minute morning warm-up activities, and I've received rave reviews for using them. The games help me maintain student interest and participation and leave the students feeling happy and awake. I like everything about the site, and customer support is very effective as they respond in time.

Teach-This is one of the best EFL websites I've found. It's extremely user-friendly, and I always find what I need quickly. I like the design, and the content is fun, engaging and original. I am very thankful for all your work and generosity by making some resources free. I always recommend this website to my fellow teachers. Your work is really helpful, and I value it enormously.

I like the grammar-focused resources the most as they save me time. The resources also inspire me. If I see an interesting grammar activity, I often rework it for other grammar rules. I like the fact that I simply pay a flat fee, and I can download whatever I want. Teach-This really is a great timesaver. I know that if I am in need of resources for my students, I can go to Teach-This and find something interesting.

Getting familiar with the site and how to use the resources is not difficult. I found the writing skills resources to be the most valuable as they have enhanced my teaching of this skill. The website is elaborate and full of all types of resources to help me teach English. When I contacted customer support, they were super-fast to deal with my enquiry. So overall, I recommend it.

I have found the grammar and vocabulary resources the most valuable. They have improved my teaching experience because they are easy to use and well-organized. The materials are very engaging for my students. The website is also very user-friendly. The best thing about Teach-This is that it offers ready-made worksheets for busy teachers, and the content is well-organized and full of information.

I'm really glad I found the Teach-This website. The materials in the General English section have proven to be really helpful and made my classes more engaging. The materials are well-structured and cover a wide range of topics, making it easy to keep my students interested and motivated. Overall, my experience using your resources has been great.

My first impression of the website was that it was amazing. The games and activities have really improved my teaching. The resources are engaging and relevant to my students’ needs, and I find the website easy to use and navigate. Thanks.

I discovered the site on Google when I was searching for question games and reading activities. It has been very helpful. The activities are awesome and have benefited me and my students by making my classes more fun. I am now less stressed about preparing for classes as the ready-made resources offer me everything I need. I give the site five out of five for user-friendliness. It is very easy to navigate and find what I need.

I would like to thank you for making a fantastic website. I particularly enjoy teaching the functional language materials, which have been very helpful in my classes. The resources have significantly improved my students' communication skills in daily life, so it was rewarding to see them benefit in this way. It feels great to be able to make a difference in my students' lives. Please keep up the good work.

5 Reported Speech Activities

Reported speech tends to be quite a rule heavy, unexciting grammar topic. But it doesn’t have to be! Here are some fun games and activities that I’ve tried in my own classes which have gone well. They are organized from the easiest (1) to hardest (5) to make it easy for you to choose which activities are most appropriate for your own class.

Each activity will last at least 20 minutes but can be stretched longer by including introductions or review of reported speech, grammar explanations, feedback at the end, or in some cases by printing more worksheets and repeating the activity multiple times.

1. Reported Speech Mini-Whiteboard Game

Click here for the Google Slides link for the following game.

While I recommend using the Google Slides version of the game, here is the PDF version of the same Google Slides if you need it.

How do students play?

Put students into small groups of 2-4. Give each team a mini-whiteboard (or laminated piece of white paper) and whiteboard marker. Project the Google Slides presentation on the board. Let students write down the missing reported speech words.

If they are correct, give the team a thumbs up. They can put one point on the top of the board.

After you’ve shown all of the Slides, let teams count up their points and declare the winning team.

2. Play the Owl Game

Watch the following clip from Harry Potter and ask students this.

What is Hermione doing?

Hermione is being an “owl” for Harry and Ron and passing messages back and forth.

Now your students can have a chance to be owls.

Before class print the worksheet. Cut it up so that one student will be able to read the “Direct Speech” part of the worksheet and another student in the same group will separately be able to write the “Reported Speech” section. (Don’t let the teams see the two sections simultaneously because it’ll ruin the game.)

Put students into groups of three. Designate a “speaker,” a “writer” and a “runner/owl.” If your class doesn’t divide evenly into three, then make some students “checkers” who help their teammates check their reported speech grammar as they write it down.

Separate the groups so that the speakers are all on one side of the room, writers all on the other side, and runners standing in the middle with enough clear space to run back and forth.

The speaker reads a sentence from the “Direct Speech” part of the worksheet to the runner. The runner goes to his group’s writer and tells the writer what the speaker said. The writer writes the reported speech onto the “Reported Speech” section of the worksheet.

The first team to finish changing all of their direct speech into reported speech correctly is the winner.

Here is the PDF. Be sure to cut along the dotted lines before class starts. There is also an answer sheet. (I’ve left the pronouns empty because students might interpret who “you” is differently.)

* Note : There are only four groups in the PDF, but if you have a larger class, it’s okay to have more than one Group A, more than one Group B, etc. Just make sure you don’t put two Group A’s next to each other in the classroom or they might overhear each others’ answers.

3. Partner Reported Speech Crosswords

This is a very low-prep activity to review reported speech. Teachers, just print and go to class!

Put students in partners of Student A and Student B. Student A reads their direct speech sentences to their partner. Student B fills in the blanks on their crossword.

Then Student B reads their direct speech sentences and Student A fills in their crossword.

Remind students that they need to backshift verbs for reported speech.

* Note: If you don’t trust your students not to show one another their paper and “cheat” that way, then have them sit face-to-face with some space between their desks so they’re forced to speak and not look at one another’s papers.

4. Reported Speech Bingo!

Print as many Bingo cards as you need for your class. There are 30 cards in the PDF. If you’re class is particularly large, it’s OK to have some students doing duplicate cards.

To start, read the direct speech sentences from the Teacher’s Sheet. Students mark the corresponding reported speech on their Bingo cards.

When a student calls “Bingo!”, use your Teacher’s Sheet to make sure they’ve marked the correct reported speech.

If you want to play the game multiple times, print more Bingo sheets than necessary for your class. For repeated usability, laminate the cards and use them for multiples classes.

* Note : This Bingo is designed to be intentionally tricky . Students will need to listen carefully and have a firm grasp of the rules of reported speech ( including Wh- questions and Yes/No questions ) in order to mark their cards correctly.

I used Classtools.net for the Bingo cards. It’s a great website for creating fun ESL games quickly.

5. Video Listening Worksheet

This activity is fairly straightforward. Print the worksheet, play the video, and let students try to copy down what was said, first into direct speech and then into reported speech. Sometimes the best activities really are the simplest.

Make sure to explain the concept of “eavesdropping” before the video starts.

Here’s the video of Fred and George using an extendable ear to eavesdrop on others. I recommend starting the video 2 seconds in to avoid a major spoiler for anyone who hasn’t seen Harry Potter. There are minor spoilers throughout the clip, so I don’t recommend showing this video to young students who might still be reading the books or haven’t watched the movies yet.

I hope you find these activities useful!

What ESL teachers usually do is simply have one student supply a statement or ask a question and then have another student report what was said/asked. However, there are others ways to practice , more creative and engaging ways, which should prevent students tuning out and help them tune in to the lesson.

This is why we often write them on the board. Try these card games instead! For the first game, prepare a set of index card each with a direct speech statement on one side and the indirect statement on the other. Divide students into pairs. Student A picks up a card and the direct statement. Student B must change what they heard into an indirect statement. Student A checks B’s reply on the back of the card. The team with the most correct points wins.

You may also try this easier version. Write the direct statements on index cards and their indirect versions on another set of cards. Divide the class into two teams. Each student must pick up a card and find the matching statement. You can make this more challenging by using statements that are similar but in different tenses.

Then a student reports something that someone asked, without revealing who it was: . Students must guess it was the police officer: .

Students read them out loud and then take turns reporting what someone said:

Students must read through them and find at least one juicy bit of celebrity gossip to report to the rest of the class: . To make this into a game, ask students to withhold the celebrity’s name and have the other students guess:

: .

Divide students into pairs. One student will be the reporter and the other will be someone worthy of an exclusive interview:

The celebrity answers a series of questions and the reporter reports back to the class: .

; ask them to use Reported Speech in their letter: . Students then exchange letters and reply to a classmate’s problem: . Students get their original problem letters back and report to the class on what Dear Abby said: . With this activity you are giving your students two opportunities to use Reported Speech.

. This student whispers it to another: . The whispering continues through the grapevine, until it reaches the last student who must then say the original statement in direct speech. If there are differences, they must find out who made the mistake: .

Then use some liquid paper to white out what some of the characters say in their speech bubbles. Write these lines down on separate cards. Students pick up a card and try to match it to a character: .

Have the students stand in a circle. Give the first one a bean bag or the ball and set the timer for a random interval, even a short one — one minute or even six seconds, or you can even vary the intervals to make it more interesting — depending on the size of your class. When the timer stops, the student holding the bean bag must read one of the flashcards and convert it into the opposite e.g., direct speech to indirect speech, or the other way round. If they are wrong, they must leave the circle. You can vary the game by changing the flashcards to contain other words where students would need to come with sentences containing, say for example, , add , .

Each of the activities suggested above should establish a situation, a context that should help your students see just how useful really is.

Brazil Blocks X After Musk Ignores Court Orders

The social network began to go dark in the nation of 200 million, the result of an escalating fight between Elon Musk and a Brazilian judge over what can be said online.

Elon Musk wears a dark leather jacket with a fur collar against a dark background.

By Jack Nicas and Kate Conger

Jack Nicas reported from Rio de Janeiro, and Kate Conger from San Francisco.

X began to go dark across Brazil on Saturday after the nation’s Supreme Court blocked the social network because its owner, Elon Musk, refused to comply with court orders to suspend certain accounts.

The moment posed one of the biggest tests yet of the billionaire’s efforts to transform the site into a digital town square where just about anything goes.

Alexandre de Moraes , a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, ordered Brazil’s telecom agency to block access to X across the nation of 200 million because the company lacked a physical presence in Brazil.

Mr. Musk closed X’s office in Brazil last week after Justice Moraes threatened arrests for ignoring his orders to remove X accounts that he said broke Brazilian laws.

X said that it viewed Justice Moraes’s sealed orders as illegal and that it planned to publish them. “Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes,” Mr. Musk said on Friday.

In a highly unusual move, Justice Moraes also said that any person in Brazil who tried to still use X via common privacy software called a virtual private network, or VPN, could be fined nearly $9,000 a day.
