I arrive in Buenos Aires in a week, from where I am planning to move on to Mendoza to try and find work, or else Santiago. I am a 23 year old British guy with a Celta but little-to-no teaching experience, and Im aware of the fact that teaching from December to March is probably going to be freelance with private students. Therefore, im trying to work out what teaching materials I need to bring, considering that I don't know what age or what level of student I shall be teaching.

Im planning to bring,

dictionary / thesaurus

The Azar grammar workbook

A book of short stories called "Sudden Fiction"

Pictures of my family

Magazine cut-outs, pictures of filmstars, images from internet such as sports, images of London etc

A copy of Scrabble




So what am I missing people? A vocab book, cuisenaire rods or a book of games or ... / ...

Is there anything you really wish you had taken with you in the way of materials you didnt?

Or anything which has proved invaluable?


Thanks for any input
Dominic

Hi there;

My suggestion would be to bring touristic pamphlets in English from the area where you come from.

Also, there's stuff in English you can download and print anywhere from the Internet. The Buenos Aires Herald is in English so you can use that..

Those are my suggestions, there's alot of stuff you can use..

Sabine.
