This project-based unit on polite behaviors is an engaging and interactive way for ESL students to build their communication skills. Other skills and systems are targeted in the unit, such as reading to make predictions and writing a hypothesis. Depending on the dynamics of the class and instructor, this unit can be completed in 1-2 weeks. Although students are expected to conduct surveys in public and present their findings, the tasks can be adapted to suit the class's comfort zones and needs.

This is a quick listening for pronunciation assessment. Students must distinguish /ed/ endings and rising/falling intonation with tag questions. This is great formal or informal assessment that can be administered as a quiz or extra practice. Page 1 is the assessment, and page 2 is the answer key and teacher guide.
