Teacher Discussion Forums

I'm a substitute adult esl instructor in search of quality lesson plans to download. I need all levels: pre-literacy, beginning, intermediate, advanced. I'm willing to pay a subscription fee or some other fee for quality products and service. Can anybody recommend some sites?

Heads up English

Onestop English

BBC

I use these sites. Heads up is for more advanced students and is free; the BBC has a lot to offer and is also free; Onestop is from Macmillan publishers and has a fairly good level range but some things you have to pay for.


!Check the Onestop lessons before using; some that I've used have been full of mistakes!

"Pay" sites that may be worth checking out if you're desperate (which I currently am!). Some of them have limited free samples. In approximately increasing order of price:

www.english-4u.com
www.handoutsonline.com
www.esl-library.com
www.esl-lounge.com
www.teachitworld.com
www.english-to-go.com

Here's a collection of sites that was sent to me that looked pretty extensive: http://www.teachingtips.com/blog/2008/0 ... -teachers/

Some free samples are on the site, but otherwise it is by subscription for 79 cents (USD) per twelve-question exercise:

You can also download several free, five part conversation lessons for high intermediate and advanced English language students at my website called Compelling Conversations.
http://www.CompellingConversations.com

I rotate the topics every month so feel free to bookmark the site and frequently visit. All the conversation lessons are chapter excerpt from a conversation textbook called Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics .

Enjoy!

Hi ya,

If you're interested in conversation materials, I've also got a few you can download for free.

They're available at:

The normal price for sheets: (Euro) 79c General English, .99c Business English and 1.49 ESP.


Take care,
