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.

Hey Kurt,
This is absolutely the best site i’ve ever seen for EFL teaching materials!
Thanks so much!
Kate
I haven’t yet found any materials which are as exciting and as ready to use as yours!
Joy Jarmen
Dear Kurt,
Your EFL4U activities are honestly among the very best that I’ve discovered on the web. They are consistently imaginative, high quality and engaging. The students are motivated and the classes are lively.
Sherry Maisey - ESL instructor
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
Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
