If you are like me, you are always looking for more ideas for teaching your classes or individual students. I have discovered a new site that is being developed and I want to share it with you. It is quite apply named ESL Handouts. It is a site that asks people to share their ideas and materials with other ESL tutors so we can all increase our resource libraries. The site owner also allows people to post their website links that roughly relate to the topic of education. So, if you are building your own tutoring or teaching business, ESL or other, this way you can get some good materials, contribute your own genius ideas to the world, and get advertising and backlinks to your own site.
The more people to contribute to a site like this, the better it gets, so I encourage you to go there now and see what you can give and take to this site, ESL Handouts.
My friend (not a teacher by trade) is teaching an ESL class in Korea. Does anyone who teaches ESL have any advice or specific websites (please include URL if possible!) that she could read today to help her feel more prepared to start her class tomorrow? Here are a few facts:
* This is not bilingual education – it's an immersion class, and she does not speak Korean.
* She will be handed the curriculum tomorrow morning before the class starts, but does not have it in hand to prepare from ahead of time.
* Until she starts, she won't even know how much English the kids already know.
* Students will be upper-elementary/early middle school age.
Icebreakers & other first-day activities are especially helpful, but would love to see any suggestions for any creative and fun stuff.
She'll be great once she gets started, but she's nervous about what to do on the first day and how to fill the time after introductions.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
