What Happened This Year? - December 04, 2023
Holiday Lesson Set - Lesson 01e
A continuation of the previous three lessons, How Was This Year? Use this lesson before December 31 to discover how this year compares to other years. (See the above How Was Last Year after January 1st.)
Two students interview each other by asking and answering questions as to how their School or Job, Family, Friends, Health, Love or Romance and Money compare to other years. Because students are talking about their own lives, they will inherently become highly involved with the questions and answers.
The grammatical focus of this lesson is on the practice of past tense as well as on superlatives and comparatives.
All EFL / ESL students, no matter what their age or ability really enjoy this lesson.
For other New Years lessons, see:
New Year Predictions (See New Years Lesson 01a above)
How Was Last Year? (See New Years Lesson 01b above)
What Plans This Year? (See New Years Lesson 01c above) -and-
What Will Happen Next Year? (See New Years Lesson 01d above).
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,
Your customer service is excellent and I think you have a great product. I am using the lessons and I love the fact that I have ready made materials and instructions. These lessons are so great for teaching privately, in institutes and also add to my classroom themes in university.
Keep up the good work.
Kay
Dear Kurt,
There are millions of EFL ESL books here in the library, but I use your worksheets more than any of the others combined.
I love them. My students love them.
Sincerely,
Margaret Holt - ESL Teacher,
Dear EFL4U,
Just to let you know, I surf the web all the time. Your site is still the only one I tell my friends and colleagues about. It’s the only one really worth it! This is not flattery. Just honest. Ask my students, they’ll tell you, too! You’ve got to be a genius,

Dear Kurt,
The result of your workseets in the classroom is amazing. Students go crazy about this new kind of practice material, which is completely different from what they can find in Textbooks.
On the other hand, all worksheets foster speaking and interactions, which are so difficult to achive. I hope this site will keep on working hard to provide us, not so imaginative teachers, with ready-made quality material for use in the classroom.
Congratulations!
María
I haven’t yet found any materials which are as exciting and as ready to use as yours!
