Teacher Discussion Forums

Hi everyone,

I am zailawati. I am undergraduate student from Malaysia. I am taking TESL as my elective paper here. I have been thinking of using the internet as one of my main teaching sources in the future. In my opinion,
by using the soure materials from the internet we will get up-dated or
latest teaching materials without spending so much money to buy the
source books. However, teacher must be creative in manipulating the sources in their teaching. What do you think or did anyone here have ideas on making our teaching more creative?

Hi,

I am sure you can get a lot of good information about good sites to use. Please tell us the age of the students, their level, their proficiency, a short synopsis of their English study before these Internet materials would be used, and general curriculum considerations. Also let us know the class configuration and the number of computers you have. For example one class of fifty and one computer, vs. one class of 50 and 50 computers. Males, females, both? What is their first language? Where are you located? The more specific you can be, the better quality feedback you can expect. If this is for research of a more broad nature, let us know that, and we will see what we can do.

Good luck,
Kathy
