Teacher Toolbox & Resources

OK- you are walking into class.  What do you need? OR you are planning- what can help your planning go smoother? You need a marker for the white board.  You need pens, pencil, paper and your lesson plan.  The physical basics are hard to provide over the internet- but here are some basic tools that every ESL teacher should have .....

FLASHCARDS-  AS IMPORTANT AS THE MARKER!!!
In addition to flashcards, a valuable tool for your toolbox is MINI- FLASHCARDS.  These can be used for many different types of games.  To make mini-flashcards you can print HANDOUTS with 6 slides per page, and cut each mini-slide, and have students play games matching pictures and words.
