Abbreviations 2 - October 03, 2022
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 12b
More everyday abbreviations seen throughout the written media. Although the meanings of the abbreviations are usually known, students may not know the actual words used to create the abbreviation.
This lesson is not only fun, it's really practical. Students will learn the meanings of commonly recognized abbreviations such as CPU, USB, ATM, FYI and NYSE.
The worksheets are divided into four categories:
Computers
Money
E-mail and
Education
In pairs, students try to identify the real English words which compromise very common abbreviations. Everyone knows the software file name of PDF (these worksheets are printed from a pdf file!). How many students know what the letters stand for? Other abbreviations include: PIN, ASAP, TOEIC, GPA, CAD and others.
For additional Abbreviation lessons, see:
Abbreviations 1 (See Lesson 12a above)
Abbreviations 3 (See Lesson 12c below)
Business Abbreviations (See Lesson 12d below) -and-
Medical Abbreviations (See Lesson 12e below).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hi Kurt,
I just want to thank you for all your hard work on the website & the many ideas & worksheets you provide for ESL teachers all over the world.

Dear Kurt,
Your lessons are professionally done and most of all fun!
We all find your materials more than just a fun filler even though they do liven things up.
I post each of your lessons on a teacher’s exchange board Mondays at school for the other trainers. The feedback has been nothing but praise.
Keep up the good work.
