This lesson is for beginner English learners, so keep spoken instructions very simple and support meaning with gestures, facial expressions, and examples from daily life.
Today’s goal

Which feelings words do you already know in English?
Use the word cloud to surface prior knowledge. Accept single words such as happy, sad, angry, tired, scared, excited, bored, or nervous.
What are feelings?
Feelings are words we use to say how we are inside.
Examples:
happy
sad
angry
scared
tired
Model each feeling with your face and voice. At this level, students benefit from linking the word to a clear visual cue.
Common feelings words
happy
sad
angry
scared
tired
excited
bored
nervous
Keep pronunciation slow and clear. You may drill stress lightly, especially for excited, nervous, and scared.
Feelings in everyday life
I am happy at a party.
I am tired after school.
I am nervous before a test.
I am sad when I miss a friend.
Point out the pattern I am + feeling. This is the first useful sentence frame students should leave with.
Positive and negative feelings
Some feelings feel good, and some feel difficult.
Positive: happy, excited
Negative: sad, angry, scared, nervous
Other: tired, bored
All feelings are normal.
Avoid over-moralising feelings. The aim is vocabulary and simple emotional literacy, not judging emotions as good or bad people.
How to say it
Use to be with feelings:
I am happy.
You are tired.
He is angry.
She is scared.
They are excited.
This slide gives the core grammar needed for the topic. Keep the focus on meaning and pattern, not full conjugation practice.
Which sentence is correct?
I am happy.
I happy am.
I are happy.
I feeling happy.
Checks the basic pattern I am + feeling from slides 4 to 6.
Complete the feelings sentences
I am tired after school. She is nervous before a test. They are excited at a party.
All three answers come from the example contexts already taught in the first subtopic.
Which feeling is not clearly positive or negative in the lesson?
happy
excited
tired
scared

Simple sentence patterns
Students can talk about feelings with short patterns:
I am happy.
I feel sad.
She is nervous.
We are excited.
You can accept both I am happy and I feel happy, but keep one consistent model first to reduce confusion.
Add a reason
We can add because:
I am happy because it is my birthday.
I am tired because I studied late.
She is nervous because of the exam.
At A1/A2 level, a short because phrase is enough. Do not push complex clauses unless the class is ready.
Ask about feelings
How are you?
How do you feel?
I am fine.
I am excited.
I feel tired today.
Highlight the difference between the question form and the answer form, but keep the explanation very light and practical.
Learning with technology
Digital tools can help students learn feelings words:
listen to pronunciation
match words and pictures
repeat short sentences
watch short emotion videos
This slide introduces the CALL and e-learning angle as support for language learning, not as a separate topic.
CALL in English learning
CALL means Computer-Assisted Language Learning.
It helps learners:
hear English
see pictures
practise again
learn at their own speed
Keep the acronym simple. The main point is that computers and apps can support listening, reading, speaking, and vocabulary practice.
E-learning and blended learning
E-learning is learning online.
Blended learning is learning in class and online.
For feelings lessons, students can:
learn words in class
review with an app at home
listen and speak online
Make the contrast clear: e-learning can be fully online, while blended learning combines classroom teaching with digital work.
Why digital practice helps
pictures make meaning clear
audio helps pronunciation
repetition builds memory
short tasks keep practice easy
Connect this back to beginner learners: visuals, repetition, and audio are especially useful for A1/A2 vocabulary building.
Which word adds a reason?
today
because
very
about
Checks the key linker from slide 8.
Complete the short dialogue
A: How do you feel? B: I am tired because I studied late. CALL helps learners practise again and learn at their own speed.
Brings together question forms, because, and the CALL idea from slides 9 to 13.
How can a digital tool help you learn feelings words?
Expected elements: one suitable digital tool or activity from the slides, such as audio, pictures, matching words and pictures, repeating short sentences, videos, apps, or learning at your own speed. Students should connect it to learning feelings words.
What is one thing you learned in this lesson?
Reflection only. Encourage simple answers about vocabulary, sentence patterns, or using because.
What helped you understand best today?
Reflection only. Students may mention pictures, examples, repetition, sentence frames, audio, apps, or pair speaking.
