How Do You Feel, Exactly?

Get 64 emotion vocabulary speaking cards for B2-C1 learners that take adult students beyond happy, sad and angry - frustrated, exasperated, furious, uneasy, apprehensive, overwhelmed, relieved, thrilled, disheartened, self-conscious, resentful, envious - and get them choosing the most precise word for a real situation, defending the choice and talking honestly about their own life and work.

• Name precise emotions in English with 16 word cards: frustrated, exasperated, furious, uneasy, apprehensive, overwhelmed, content, relieved, thrilled, discouraged, disheartened, awkward, self-conscious, resentful, bitter and envious, each with the preposition pattern (frustrated with, apprehensive about, envious of), a clear meaning and a question about the student's own life; the quick reference covers feel + adjective, -ed vs -ing, gradable and extreme adjectives and how to soften a feeling at work.
• Play What Would Make You Feel…?: sixteen cards with four short situations each (a pen-clicking colleague, a system that logs you out, a client who says yes, a job offer, a cancelled train, a redundancy email); the student chooses the most precise word for every situation and defends it - why exasperated and not frustrated, why uneasy and not anxious; cards 1-6 stay inside one word family, 7-12 use the whole bank, 13-16 give one event (a merger, a wedding, a final whistle) and four people who feel it differently; selected cards add a teacher twist and every card ends with a real question about the student's own life.
• Have the conversation itself with sixteen C1 role-plays where naming the feeling precisely is the point: telling your manager you are overwhelmed without sounding incapable, raising a colleague's annoying habit, admitting second thoughts before signing a contract, congratulating a friend you envy, apologising for snapping, reassuring an apprehensive newcomer, a fourth call to customer service; the chip on every card names three feelings (students use at least two, with the reason behind each), most cards add a teacher twist, and there is no model answer on the card - the student produces the language.
• Tell apart feelings that learners mix up: sixteen pairs such as envious / jealous, anxious / apprehensive, frustrated / disappointed, embarrassed / self-conscious, resentful / bitter, content / relieved, delighted / thrilled, stressed / overwhelmed and embarrassed / ashamed, each with the difference in one line, a question for each word and a follow-up that forces a choice, plus a quick reference on why the word you pick changes the message.
