English as a second language (ESL) Worksheets can help adults learn a lot of useful information that will help them in their personal and professional lives.
However, ESL worksheets for young learners rarely cater to capable adults, which is why we have compiled a list of our exclusive ESL worksheets for adults.
If you’ve missed it, we’ve already listed the best ESL worksheets for beginners and the best ESL worksheets for advanced learners in our other posts. Without further ado, let’s dive into some recommendations for adult learners.
ISL Collective has a ton of free resources, yes, even for adults!
It is a handy site for bulking up your lesson plan with popular worksheets created by teachers. If you find a particular teacher you like, you can take a look at their profile for more great resources.
You can just find just about anything on ISL Collective. Type it in the search bar.
Please note that you will have to check for errors because these resources were created by regular tutors like ourselves (not a company with a proofreader). I have noticed grammatical mistakes in some resources, even the most popular ones.
Here are some free resources to get you started:
Breaking News English is an excellent resource for adults.
At Breaking News English, you can sort by level. 0-3 is easy. 4-6 is more challenging.
Once you’ve sorted by level, you can find wacky, unconventional news on every kind of topic.
They have news lessons on education, business English, environment, people/gossip, lifestyle, health, issues, and world news.
They usually have a news story, new vocabulary (explained), and exercises in each worksheet. They also have podcast versions of the news stories.
When you’ve found a lesson you like, click “Print the Lesson” in the Read section.
The best thing is that all the worksheets are free! They are high quality and could easily suffice for a full 60-minute to 90-minute lesson.
Here are some worksheets for adults for you to sample:
If you are looking for high-quality ESL worksheets for adults, you will certainly find them here at ESL Library. While this is not a free resource and involves a monthly or yearly billing subscription, teachers can dig out some free material to sample.
ESL library is a great supplement to your teaching materials. It allows teachers to search by topic and include a quick worksheet to complement a lesson plan.
When checking out their worksheets on a particular topic, teachers can sort the topics into their own folders for later use. They can also check the worksheets’ US, Canadian, or UK versions. Each worksheet comes with a teacher and student PDF version and downloadable audio.
Their lesson categories include discussions and debates, grammar, young learners and adult literacy, everyday English, academic and business English, reading and discovery, holidays and travel, and English storylines.
ESL Library also has digital lessons that can be broadcast in the classroom, flashcards, and other printable content.
