I find this lesson specially useful for the development of a green consciousness in our students. I will try to carry it out with them next week and will tell you about its fulfilment. Thank you for such a good teaching material.

Worksheet
A marvellous lesson
Hello! Thank you for being a member of this family, I am content.
Speaking about how green are you consider me to deep in students mind and to take out interesting ideas.
Here in Angola, teaching english in secondary school is very complicated, because english is their second language aquisition, and they don't understand when the teacher speaks only english, you have to achieve with portugues lgs.
Then, which methods we have to use in teaching green you are?
Waiting for your reply.
Thank you!
Using L1 in the classroom
Hello
All of the lesson plans on our website are designed to be taught in English, and they are written for learners with different language levels - this lesson is designed for learners with a pre-intermediate (A2) level. Of course, sometimes teachers will need to use the students' L1, particularly with lower levels.
There are some articles and resources about the use of L1 on the site - for example:

I hope these help.
