Top 10 Tesol and Tefl Activities

The most common activities in the modern classroom are quite different from those of a generation ago. As the communicative approach has grown in both research and pedagogical approach, teachers have continued to discover ways to make the classroom a place of excitement and learning.

The following activities were chosen not only because they are common to the field but because they elicit the kinds of language production that communicative teachers are looking for. These activities tend to cross over the range of student possibilities, meaning that activities can be adapted for all students, from beginning to advanced, and from children to adults.

This does not mean that every activity is necessarily an appropriate activity in the context that you find yourself. However, by reading through these activities, you are encouraged to explore how you might use and modify at least some of these activities so that you are more successful in your English classroom.


I’m more interested in arousing enthusiasm in kids than in teaching the facts. The facts may change, but that enthusiasm for exploring the world will remain with them the rest of their lives
