No-Prep English Grammar Study Booklet - a lot vs. alot
A lot vs. alot is a concept that causes continual frustration for students of English, particularly adult ESL learners. I constantly get the question from my students, "Is it alot or a lot?" Well, this is the resource you've been looking for to help you explain it to your students and to help your students finally master a lot vs. alot.
If you’re looking for flexible ESL adult activities, you’re in the right place.
The ESL Quick Tips Look Book product line is one that can be used as flash cards, cheat sheets, or as an English grammar checker. It is geared to the adult EFL learner looking for a simple way to help make sense of and master the English language.
Each topic has three parts.
First, the Topic Cards with the use and examples of how to use the topic in conversation.
Second, the Tip Cards which give further explanation of the topic and tips on how to remember the use, with examples.
Third, the Practice Cards give plenty of opportunities to work with the grammar point in real situations.
The ESL Quick Tips Look Book series of foldable books are designed to be used, either individually or bound together, as a quick reference for different aspects of English that constantly confuse students of English.

The one thing my students repeatedly mention to me is that they are afraid to speak English outside of the classroom because they do not understand how to approach English-speakers in different situations. That's why I created this monthly challenge club - so that students would have a way to step out into the world of English-speakers with a guiding hand to help them along the way.
🗹 Each month a new 30-Day challenge is released (including all the resources needed to complete the challenges). 🗹 These challenges are designed to present students with a real-life speaking exercise that they complete through daily tasks that teach them how to research, plan, and prepare for a specific type of English-speaking interaction, then to follow through and complete the challenge. 🗹 As teachers, we meet once a month prior to the challenge release to go over the challenge, its purpose and goals, and suggesed teaching strategies. 🗹 Additionally, we meet at the end of the challenge to talk about how it went - if any struggles occured, what successes your students had, how you felt about teaching it, and to answer any questions you have. 🗹 Each member has the opportunity to be entered into a monthly prize drawing for a $10 off coupon on your next purchase from @CE Educational Resources. 🗹 For those who choose the annual payment option, I'll hold weekly office hours to give you that bit of extra help and guidance throughout the month.
You can cancel anytime in your TeacherStore customer account. You’ll keep your access until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and you won’t be charged after that.
Goodbye to...
- that nagging feeling that somewhere there's a better way to motivate your students.
- being stuck in the old, robotic way of teaching English to non-native-English students.
- childish resources that do not respect your adult students' intelligence and experience.
- the insecurity, uneasiness, & dread that cobbling lessons together brings to your workday.
Hello to...
- a consistent method of fully involving your students in their English fluency success.
- a vibrant method of teaching English that connects students with their everyday life.
- high-quality, intelligent resources designed for adult ESL students & the lives they live
- that sense of joy you forgot you had because you know you have a solid plan & support.
This community is for English as a Second Language teachers of adults who want to help their students take what they learn in class and use it effectively in whatever English-based culture they find themselves. This community is for you if you are not satisfied with simply churning out students who are proficient in English. You want to give your students the tools they need to transform their proficiency in the English language into fluency in the language of English-speaking cultures.
>>> Each month, you get a new 30-day challenge and all the resources needed to complete the challenge (including instructions and teaching suggestions).
>>> You also get 2 live coaching calls - one before the challenge begins (to make sure you are familiar with the teaching point, goals, teaching approaches, and to get your questions answered), and one after the challenge ends (to share your successes, struggles, suggestions, and to answer your questions).
>>> A chance each month to win a $10 coupon that you can use at @CE Educational Resources
>>> Annual subscribers get access to weekly office hours with me to help keep you on track, answer your questions, and support you through the challenge.
Yes. The twice-monthly calls and the weekly office hours (for annual subscribers) are all held on Zoom. There may be times when we meet via Google Meet but you will be notified beforehand.
The community is a private site only for subscribers of the 30-Day Challenge Club. You will be given all the access information after you subscribe.
Your adult ESL students count on you to prepare them to be able to communicate effectively in English on the job and in the wider English-speaking worlds in which they find themselves. As ESL teachers, we don't always know everything and we often get stuck in knowing how to teach certain aspects of English or if we're on the right track in our teaching method. As teachers, in general, we don't always have the time to develop lessons or activities for our students (and finding intelligent resources that respect our adult students truly is a challenge of its own).
By joining the 30-Day Challenge Club for English Fluency Success, you not only save time, reduce your stress, and gain confidence in your lessons, but you also join a family of like-minded ESL teachers of adults who are looking to connect with you for mutual support. My goal for this community is for it to be the Go-To place for ESL teachers of adults to connect, share, support, and encourage each other in this highly-satisfying field of helping others create a new life for themselves and others through the act of learning a new language.

You are just a click away from a happier, more confident, and enthusiastic ESL teaching experience (and a class full of students who are far more than simply proficient in English).

Hello, I’m Cathleen. I am a writer, editor, and 44-year Corporate Client Relations veteran with experience teaching in the classroom, in the boardroom, and in volunteer positions teaching English, horseback riding as therapy, as well as figure skating to children and adults. I am also a multi-certified TEFL/TESOL instructor and a TEFL/TESOL Diploma candidate.
My love of teaching began when I was eleven and would help my nursery school teachers on my afternoons off during Curriculum Days. From there I volunteered as noted above throughout middle school, high school, and college. During my corporate years, I taught a multitude of topics in various capacities and on various levels of formality. As an editor, I work 1-on-1 with authors (specializing in non-native-English-speakers), teaching the finer points of the English language that make or break the finished product.
Currently, I am teaching English to adults, as well as for companies offering language learning to their employees.
