40 Writing Prompts

We think the name says it all. Download and print this resource once and you’ll have all the writing prompts you’ll need for the semester. Prepare your students for everyday writing challenges and English proficiency tests in a fun and interesting way.

This resource is full of funny and original writing prompts that will test your students’ reading and writing abilities. And yep, you guessed it, there are 40 of them. 

While the writing prompts are generally fun and creative, they do ask students to respond in specific and productive ways, always focusing on a useful writing function. For example: writing a thank you letter, refusing an invitation or complaining to a company. 

These writing functions are in line with both English textbooks and English proficiency tests such as IELTs or TOEFL. All prompts can be used with B1 or higher students, and many can also be used with your A2 students.

    Thanks a lot for these writing prompts, I have to say that I use them very often and they are really great. Not only for A2 level but for more advanced students as well.

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
