This powerpoint is a mini-language lab, especially designed for ESL students who may have a little English, but who are not yet regularly speaking in full sentences. There are 20 slides which present simple sentences using "have" and "is". The students listen to and repeat the sentences while looking at the visuals to help them understand what they are saying. Students can easily navigate through the powerpoint simply by using the cursor keys.

Also included in the accompanying PDF file are 2 follow up worksheets.

Other similar Powerpoints you may be interested in:

ESL Language Lab Powerpoint - have, like, family and colors. This is the follow up to this file. It uses the same images but adds sentences using "like" and other everyday verbs. The similarities are intentional as it gives students confidence and they can review what they have already learned while tackling some new language.

ESL Language Lab Powerpoint - verbs, places, I can and past tense

ESL Language Lab Powerpoint - past tense verbs and its companion
ESL Language Lab Powerpoint - plans using going to and will
These 2 presentations use the same images, but in the first one the sentences are in the PAST tense while in the second one they are in the FUTURE tense.

This presentation may be used in an ESL class and presented to a whole group of students. Should you use it as a whole class lesson, copies of the follow up worksheets have been inserted into the Powerpoint to give a visual when explaining the follow up activity.

You can also use this Powerpoint in a mainstream classroom where the ESL student(s) can sit at the computer with a pair of headphones and practice independently while other students are working at different literacy centers. There are 22 slides which gives a student about 15 minutes of practice, depending on how often an individual student wants to re-listen to a sentence. To master the language in the presentation a student should run through it several times before moving on to another presentation.

Finally, this presentation can be sent home for homework, especially when there is no English speaker in the family.
