It doesn't have to be difficult to teach prepositions to your ESL students. Granted, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] prepositions are a little bit harder because they are more of a concept than a mere vocabulary word. However, students are probably familiar with these words in their native language, so [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] they can catch on quite quickly.
Here are five of my favorite ideas for teaching prepositions:
1. Use flash card games. You probably have some [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] flash cards illustrating the different prepositions. If not, then you can easily [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] print some out for free or make your own. You can use these cards to play bingo, memory, or any of your favorite games.
2. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Say the Opposite. Most prepositions have opposites. It's a good challenge to have the students say the opposite. For example, if you say "in", they must say "out". It's extra challenging if [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you show them a card and have them say the opposite because your first reaction is to say what's on the card.
3. Place the toy. Give each student [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] a toy. I like to use small plastic animals. Sit in a circle and, as a group, practice using prepositions by [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] having everyone put the animal "in front of you", or "on your head". Then, tell each student to put their animal somewhere around the classroom--"under the chair" or "in front of the door". If your students are more advanced, you can have them tell [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] another student where to put [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] their animal.
4. As a Group. One thing that I have found to be very fun is to direct the students around the room. Say "Everybody stand next to the sink!" and when everyone has gone there, change to a new place. If you're very daring, and have fairly young students, you can instruct them to "Jump over me." or "Stand on me."
5. Create an Obstacle Course. Set up a small obstacle course around the classroom using tables, chairs, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and anything else you might have in the classroom. Students enjoy getting active and being told to "crawl under the table" and "walk around the chair three times".
These are just a few of my favorite ideas to teach prepositions to your ESL students. Hopefully you'll be able to find something that works with your students.
