Elementary Lesson Topics for English Language Learners

Popular elementary  lesson topics for English language students generally focus on areas such as family, home life,  routines, interests, food, sport, travel, the body and appearance. 

 These topics  are fairly easy to talk about with rudimentary language skills.

Other lessons try to introduce the language structures necessary for short conversational exchanges including greetings, introductions, invitations and the slightly more advanced skills required for giving advice and directions and making  telephoning calls.
