freeprintablesforteachers.com is also good, aimed at young learners.

Anyone else have their favorites?

Thanks for the site I'm sure I'll make good use of it.

This is one of my favourites and my students love the topical issues.

Heads Up English is quite good as well. http://www.headsupenglish.com/
They also add mp3 listening activities you can download.

Not all of them have printable worksheets but you can easily prepare your own using the exercises. I generally copy them and paste them into Notepad to get rid of the formatting, then C&P that into Word so I can format it, make corrections and adapt the materials where needed.

Sounds like a hassle but you only have to do it once and then you have it ready to print whenever you need it. I have collected a good database of maybe 500-600 handouts like this.

Best,

Possibly, yes. But I'm sure they wouldn't mind, would you? Especially when something they have written is obviously incorrect, perhaps due to the passing of time, or perhaps just due to a typo.

I've set up a site for my students that includes articles, audio and video for everything we do in class and I'd be happy for anyone to use it. No copyright issues here!

I'm also a big fan of www.headsupenglish.com that someone's already mentioned

I'm a big fan of the textbook-specific resources you can access by joining (for free) the Oxford Teacher's Club. I rarely/never use Oxford books, but I regularly use resources I get from the site.

Sorry- I supposed I could provide a link. http://www.oup.com/elt/teachersclub/?cc=gb

This Oxford one is a nice site - thanks jetgirly!

Well, I just started sorting and uploading all of my teaching stuff onto Scribd.

I still need to go through a lot of the stuff I've collected over the years and it is very China-centric, but I'm hoping it's useful to a lot of you.

Cheers.
