 |
|
Im looking for some awesome websites for teaching materials, paid/free sites are all cool, if its a subscription site let me know how much it is and why its worth paying for.
Been trying to find like a top 10 list through google search but to many random sites pop up.
My students range from 7-14, there levels are pretty decent for their ages. My older kids are the trouble bunch so anything relating to grammar basic and intermediate would be sweet.
Many thanks in advance

One Stop English!
One Stop English
www.onestopenglish.com
�One Stop English� is a good resource for ESL teachers. It has lots of educational material � worksheets, flash cards, audio material, video material, etc. � as well as forums for ESL teachers to exchange ideas and stories.
There is the free subscription and the paid subscription, with the paid subscription giving you more stuff. They call the paid subscription section of the site the �Staff Room.�
I have a paid subscription and everyone is free to use it. Here is the access information:
E-mail address: vain908[@]yahoo.com
Password: nutagava
You may share this access information with whoever you want. The more people that use my subscription the better as that way I know my payment is going to good use.
If you want to contact me don't e-mail that address but PM me. I don't use that e-mail address.
Good luck and happy ESLing!

Ddeubel puts full scanned ESL textbooks on his ESL-Classroom site. Side by Side books, New Interchange, Beginner's Communication Games -- just to name a few among the half hundred he's pirating. I don't think that's ethical. They're stolen resources. Sharing your login information is also supporting theft and not helping the ESL community.
An otherwise decent seeming and helpful person, a Ddeubel's thief and I don't know how he can justify himself ethically, other than to be glib and say he's helping others by stealing from published copyright holders. He's teaching people to steal. A real teacher teaches by example.
I pay for my resources out of my own pocket to support the ESL community of scholars who publish books. I pay the $15 dollars to teach my parents' class with New Cutting Edge. I also pay for two other websites which I use for commercially designed ESL materials. |

Ddeubel's website rocks. I use it all the time and it is a highly recommended resource if you have a computer and a large screen in your class. All I can say to moralizing mice who have deeply ethical qualms about it is: Don't use it!
I've bought many of the books he scans on his site, but I didn't bring them with me because it was just way over my limit. Does that make me an unscrupulous robber as well? I'm not even going to think about the amount of money I've spent on EFL books over the last ten years. They are so overpriced, especially here.
He is doing a great service to all the teachers who lack EFL experience here in Korea. And I imagine that is quite a lot. Many are not career teachers and I can't imagine them spending money to develop their craft. Anyways, the scanned books are such a small part of his overall excellent website, it just strikes me as deeply neurotic and fundamentally unsound that anyway would not take advantage of the site's many goodies. Karaoke! |
