This is such a well-thought-out and accessible lesson—perfect for adult ESL learners! The use of “go” with everyday places and activities is something so foundational, yet it can be easily overlooked. I especially love how you’ve broken it down with clear examples and included speaking practice to make it more engaging. The picture prompts and real-life conversation tips are fantastic for building confidence in learners who are just starting to speak more naturally. Also, the mix of grammar, vocabulary, and culture is a great touch—it keeps things fun and practical.
I’m curious—do you plan to expand this into themed modules, like “go” + places for holidays or seasonal activities? I could see learners getting really into that around different times of year. Thanks for offering free resources while also building toward a full TPT release. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Hi Christine, thanks for your comments. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by themed modules. To be honest, I’ve never thought about it but, anything is possible. I’ll keep it in mind.
