Our experience with teaching ESL has always been that lots of repetition done in lots of different ways is the most effective way for people to learn a second language. This is why we came up with First Questions:
A system that effectively teaches and reviews the 150 most commonly used questions and answers.
This system will be an excellent addition to your repertoire as a teacher. Used as a warmer, it's a great way to get your students talking and thinking in English. Used at the end of class, First Questions, is an excellent review tool for all the questions and answers you have taught.
One problem teachers often find, is keeping all of your students occupied at all times. This can be especially in classes with varying abilities. Now, those students who manage to finish their class work faster could be left to play most of First Questions' games by themselves. This would allow the teacher to help other students who are working at a slower pace. It also means that the fast students will continue to work, in English, while the teacher helps others catch up.
Each card comes with between 1 and 4 variations of the same question, an
d several possible answers. Questions and answers are listed from simplest to most challenging so choose the questions most likely to challenge your students' abilities. Also try to mix up the degree of difficulty regularly for extra variety and to keep them on their toes!First questions comes in a box with 186 question and answer cards, plus challenge cards and speed challenge cards. As well as this, each set comes with an instruction book explaining how to use First Questions and game and activity suggestions.
