Animal Park 'There Is/There Are' Role Play

ESL Disclaimer

This resource has been made for the purpose of teaching English language learners. We know that students can be learning English in many different places, in many different ways and at any age, so we try to keep these resources as general as possible.

There are many acronyms associated with English language teaching. These include (but are not limited to) ELT, TEFL, EFL, ELL, EAL and ESOL. While the term ESL may not fully represent the linguistic backgrounds of all students, it is the most widely recognised term for English language teaching globally. Therefore, we use the term ‘ESL’ in the names of our resources to make them easy to find but they are suitable for any student learning to speak English.

Editable

This resource is editable and can be adapted to meet the needs of different learners. Twinkl cannot be held responsible for any changes made once a resource has been downloaded. Please be aware that this content may have been edited and therefore may no longer reflect our values.
