Surveys for ESL Classes
Surveys are a great way to get a class talking. They can be focused on a grammar point or they can be focused on an area of content area. I've included a few here along with a blank template. Every teacher will run his or her class differently, but I generally have a warm-up where I look at a language point and then get the students to walk around and survey as many other students as they can. After they are finished, they sit down, write up their results and then present them to the class.
The surveys are in MS Word format so they are easy to edit to customize for different classes and level. If you make another survey with the blank template and would like to contribute it, please send it to me at gunnchris(a)bogglesworldesl.com.
