ESL Teaching Resources

Here are a few of the resources I've collected. Partly for myself, but
who knows? Maybe they'll help someone!

1. Make your own traceable worksheet (great for the younger age
groups): http://www.handwritingforkids.com/handwrite/manuscript/javascripts/_my8linestext.htm

2. Worksheets and Flashcards (for younger ages, especially good for
seasonal): http://bogglesworldesl.com/

3. Flashcard games. I know Garry would sometimes write down a list of
games on a card to carry around for every class:

4. For my reading and writing class, there is no book (nothing at
all). I have to make my own lessons. Especially since my class has
students who take classes with other teachers, I don't want to repeat
lessons from the ESL websites they use. I've found the NY Times Lesson
Plans very helpful: learning.blogs.nytimes.com

5. Scholastic had some good things for my RW class. I used their
worksheets with my mystery lessons:
