Teach your students how to express emotions clearly, respond to others, and build emotional fluency in English
Language isn’t just about sharing information—it’s about expressing how we feel. Feelings and emotions vocabulary gives ESL learners the essential tools to do just that: describe their inner world, understand others, and participate in more meaningful conversations.
This vocabulary is especially important for beginner and intermediate learners who are still developing the confidence to speak about personal experiences. With words like happy, sad, angry, excited, and nervous, students can start expressing their emotions in a clear and simple way—something that instantly makes their English feel more real and personal.
As they grow more comfortable, students benefit from learning more nuanced vocabulary like disappointed, frustrated, anxious, and guilty. These words help learners move beyond surface-level descriptions and talk more deeply about their reactions to events, relationships, and challenges. It’s language that empowers emotional intelligence alongside fluency.
This pack also supports mental health and well-being. Teaching words like relaxed, content, tired, and bored allows students to talk about how they’re feeling physically and emotionally in daily life or in response to classroom situations. It’s especially helpful in building trust and encouraging open communication—both with teachers and peers.
In the classroom, this vocabulary makes space for role-plays, reflections, storytelling, and group discussions. Students can talk about proud moments, unexpected surprises, or times they felt embarrassed or ashamed. These aren’t just language-building moments—they’re chances to build connection and community.
Now is the perfect time to add this pack. This vocabulary helps students better understand themselves, express their needs, and connect with others—skills that matter just as much as grammar or pronunciation. Bring it into your lessons and give your students the words to speak from the heart.
