ISL Collective – English Worksheets, Editable

ISL Collective has possibly one of the largest collections of free editable English worksheets and English language educational material on the internet. With literally hundreds of thousands of editable English worksheets, presentations, and videos, there is something for ESL learners and English teachers and students everywhere. The worksheets are aimed at primarily English second language but are also suitable for English first language classes. These free ESL worksheets and lesson plans include many subjects such as grammar, reading comprehension, and many more. The topics are graded according to ESL level, and most carry a creative commons license however all are free for personal and classroom use.

Resources at ISL Collective formats are only available as word documents (doc and docx) and power point (ppt and pptx). While these are proprietary formats for MS Office they can be opened and created in many other non-proprietary software programs like OpenOffice for example. (We do hope they will consider the open formats odp, odt, and odg soon :-).

ISL Collective Sign-In: ISL does require a sign-in but it’s free and you can choose to stay signed-in. To make it even easier you can also sign up with your facebook or google account.

The link on this page is for the main ISL Collective page where you can download editable files, I will change this to “download editable” as soon as we get this function, bear with me. One can print all of the files to pdf of course, but since the original files are only uploaded as an editable (doc/ppt) file there can be variations in the versions users end up with. But if you use one of the verified  essay writing services  you will end up with a satisfying result.

Here are some of the categories ISL Collective includes on their site, but if you visit the site you can easily sort by level and many other items to pick the best ESL worksheets for your needs:

ISL Collective Main Categories

ISL Collective – ESL Worksheets master category

ISL Collective – ESL Powerpoints master category

ISL Collective – ESL Video Lessons master category

ISL Collective Resource Types

The subject areas and types are very diverse. The selection of “material type” has a wide range of choices (20+)  from traditional reading comprehension exercises, to games, crosswords, and flashcards to teacher development. The resources are further categorised with sort available in specific “Grammar Focus”, i.e grammar types, for example, nouns, tenses, punctuation, parts of speech etc., and “vocabulary focus”  or which is essentially a subject or topic matter choice, for example, dinosaurs or places or time. Both of these sections have a huge range of choices to help narrow down your search from the literally hundreds of thousands of worksheets available.

English Language Type: ISL has a wonderful sort feature that allows selection of the English language type, especially for teachers. This recognises the important differences from where the resource was created, most noticeably

ISL Collective Levels and Student Types

The ESL worksheets, printables, and resources at ISL Collective are graded into seven levels, Beginner (pre-A1), Elementary (A1), and Pre-Intermediate (A2), Intermediate (B1), Upper Intermediate (B2), Advanced (C1), and Proficient (C2.

The student type can also be sorted to cater for kindergarten, elementary school, high school, special needs students, or adult learners.

ISL Collective also has many other connections and resources for English teachers and students. The site is especially valuable to ESL teachers or those looking for international work and it’s a wonderful platform for teachers to give back by sharing their own work too.

ISLCollective Review- Access Free ESL Worksheets, Presentations, and Video Lessons

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 11, 2024

ISLCollective is an ESL learning platform that offers a wide variety of educational materials such as ESL worksheets, ESL PowerPoints, and video lessons. You can either search for and use ready-made materials created by the ISLCollective community or upload your own. 

ISLCollective is especially ideal for ESL students and teachers but can also be used by anyone interested in language learning. I particularly like the video lessons section and I wish I had these materials when I used to teach EFL. They would have made my life way easier.

Materials provided by ISLCollective can help ESL students improve their language proficiency and fluency in key areas such as listening, speaking, reading, spelling, and writing. They are also focused on two main language learning aspects: grammar and vocabulary. ISLCollective is also part of my favourite resources for printable worksheets .

What is iSLCollective

ISLCollective stands for the Internet Second Language Collective which is an international group of ESL and EFL teachers and educators sharing self-made educational resources to help in language teaching. 

ISLCollective provides three types of materials:

1- ESL Worksheets

ISLCollective provides access to a huge library of ESL worksheets spanning various topics and subject areas including grammar and vocabulary. You can use the site’s search functionality to search for specific worksheets. 

You can further narrow down your search by applying filters such as level (e.g., advanced, beginner, or elementary), student type (adults, business/professional, elementary school), material type (e.g., activities with music, activities promoting classroom dynamics), Language exam (Cambridge Advanced, BULATS, etc.), Dialect (e.g., Scottish English, Irish English, British English, Canadian English, etc.), Communication Function (e.g., how to apologize, how to say sorry, how to arrange appointments, etc.), or by trending topics. 

When you find the worksheet you are interested in, click to open it. You can then choose whether you want to download it, save it to your favourites, print it, or edit it. The new feature called  Fill and Send is especially helpful. ESL and language students can use it to write their answers on a worksheet and send it via email to their teachers.

When you scroll down under the worksheet you will find more information about the worksheet including date of publication, author, levels suited for, and copyright license type. 

2- ESL Powerpoints

Another type of educational material provided by ISLCollective is PowerPoint presentations. As is the case with ESL worksheets, you can also search for ESL PowerPoint presentations using the site’s search service. You can apply the same filters I talked about earlier. 

When you find ESL presentations you are interested in, click to open them. Next, you can download, save them to your favourites, edit them, share them via email, or embed them in a blog or website using a generated code. Also, make sure you scroll down to see which levels the presentation is suited for and which copyright license type is used.

3- ESL Video Lessons

ISLCollective offers a wide range of ESL video lessons that you can use with your students to teach them key language skills. Video lessons embed interactive pop-up quizzes that are based on YouTube videos.  As students watch the video, pop-up questions are displayed on the screen. Students click to type their answers. 

Users can easily create and share video lessons using ISLCollective video quiz editor. The process is simple and easy:

• Log in to your ISlCollective 
• Click on Video lessons or Upload
• Paste a video URL Under Create an ESL
• Select whether you want to generate vocabulary quiz, grammar quiz or make your own custom quiz.

Watch this video to learn how to create a video quiz from scratch.

You can also search for ready-made video quizzes to use in your class. You can search by video URL or by keywords. You can also apply the search filters I mentioned earlier to narrow down your search query. 

When you find the video lesson you are interested in click to access it. Choose one of the four play modes: video without quiz, interactive mode, casino mode, and non-interactive mode. You can also assign video quizzes as homework so students can work on them at their own pace. 

When you scroll down the video, you will be able to access printable version of the video quiz questions as well as information about the video quiz (e.g. levels suited for, scene summary, video source, video length, video genre, lesson type, and copyright license).

Is ISLCollective free?

As of right now, ISLCollective is free. You can donate as a form of thank you to the authors and site staff but you are not required to make any payment to download or use the site materials. You only need to be registered to access the site’s materials. Registration is free.

Why is writing essays so hard?

Patterns and boring topics imposed by schools and universities are not very conducive to creativity and human development. Such essays are very difficult to write, because many are not interested in this and do not see the meaning of the text. There are a number of criteria that make it impossible to write essays:

• Boring and incomprehensible topics. Many topics could be more interesting, but teachers formulate them in a way that makes you want to yawn.
• Templates. 90% do not know how to make an essay interesting, how to turn this detailed answer to a question into a living story.
• Fear of not living up to expectations. It seems to many that the essay is stupid and that they simply did not understand the question. There is a fear of getting a bad mark and disappointing the professor, parents and classmates. There is a fear of looking stupid and embarrassing in front of the team.
• Lack of experience. People don't know what and how to write about. In order to make a good essay, you need to have a perfect understanding of the topic and have the skills of a writer.

That is why the company EssaysWriting provides its services. We remove the responsibility for the result from the clients and do everything to ensure that the scientific work is recognized.

To describe something in great detail to the readers, the writers will do my essay to appeal to the senses of the readers and try their best to give them a live experience of the given subject.
