Resources for English Teachers

Most of the time, teachers need teaching resources such as posters, flashcards, games... to complement, expand our lessons or just to fill in those minutes before finishing the class. For this reason, I would like to share with you some links where you can find some useful resources.


Mes-English: I love this webpage. It is full of printable material such as flashcards, games (bingos, memories, dice...) and worksheets that I used when I was studying for my degree and I keep using them. The pictures are very attractive and motivating for kids. You can also find videos, materials to work phonics, printable colouring, among other material. Everything is classified by topic and it is very easy to use.



LearnEnglish Kids: I also enjoy this webpage. You can find different material depending on the topic that you are interested in or the skill you want to work through. It combines a lot of interactive activities with printable material. The idea of this webpage is to not only to be used only by teachers. It is especially designed to be used by young learners who also want to practise English in a fun way. Needless to say it was created by The British Council, 'The worlds largest English language teaching organisation'. 



KizClub: Another great webpage full of resources to learn the alphabet, phonics, stories and nursery rhymes to read, crafts to do, games to print... Highly recommended especially if you are working with very young learners.

I hope these links are as useful for you as much as they are for me.
I will be glad to hear if you have some interesting links with resources to learn and teach as well.

The Adventure Begins

The adventure begins!

The aim of this blog is to compile resources, ideas, thoughts... that are lost on the Internet and that are useful and interesting to me. As an ESL teacher, most of the posts from this blog focus on teaching languages, especially English, but I hope other teachers, parents or students can find them useful and inspiring too.
