Supporter SEN Teacher Printables
Sen Teacher is the bomb! The last few years I've been acquainting myself with special education and also finding that so many special ed. techniques/tools/methods really work well with language learning. Same with websites, they offer a plethora of resources for use in our classroom. Sen Teacher does too!

Supporter Deaf and Hearing Impaired Students in the EFL Classroom
Okay- I feel like an idiot. But at least it's not toooo late for me. And maybe this will help some of you too. And perhaps you'll have some good advice for me.
This is my second year teaching in Korea- one in a hogwan (private academy) and once in the public schools.
This is the second time I have had a hearing impaired student attend classes. The problem? Lip reading is hard to do in your native language. A second lanugage is even harder. What is needed is a better…

Supporter Nat. Film Board of Canada - a treasure trove of authentic video material
We now have all the best NFB Video shorts!I love the National Film Board of Canada and I've previously highlighted their fine videos and especially animations - for use in the classroom (or just enjoyment!).

Supporter Wordia - words brought to life
I'm not a big fan of focusing on words. I'm more a "big picture guy" or for that matter a, "top down person".... However, Wordia, has some great UCC (user created content), videos about many words. You can find a word and listen to someone talk about it. (and this is probably where students will learn the most English!). It is great content for authentic English and I was impressed by the majority of the videos.I think this sort of idea… Continue

Supporter Kindersay - Young Learner Vocabulary
Kindersay is a nicely styled package of vocabulary with audio. It got my #1 young learner vocabulary site nomination.
All the basic vocabulary is there for students and I really like how you can see visually, the person pronounce the words. This is so important for learning language, online or off. Just seeing the face and how the face/mouth acts. Language is not only sound and fury!
Check it… Continue

Supporter Watch - Learn : Great videos
I'm a big fan of video for engaging our learners, especially because so many are "imaginators" or visual learners.Watch/Know is a wonderful new video site for teachers. Simple and it shares my own philosophy with its "Let's Make Great Teaching Free for All" motto.
There, you can browse a large directory of mostly youtube videos, organized by subject. The ESL part is pretty skimpy but there rest of the language…

Supporter Teachers, Who Needs Them?
I just came home from the movies. In the film I saw (The Kids Are Alright), one character when asked why he dropped out of school says, "I just thought it was a big waste of money for something I could learn myself from a book."This was something I had realized early, sitting in the town library one "PD" or professional development day, years ago in grade 8. I was flipping through a National Geographic and chanced upon an article about Jane Goodall. I was stoked, we had… Continue

Supporter Learn Free - a great resource
Learn Free is a great site for your students to visit and get "practical" lessons focused on the language they will use in daily life. It is very attractively designed and has a series of modules with audio and interactive (flash) exercises. Extremely easy to use, userfriendly. The site will keep track of the lessons you've completed and the use of audio is a great feature.You have to register but it takes… Continue

Supporter USA Learns - adults learn English through video
USA Learns is a site of extremes. IMO, It is probably one of the best places for adults to "self-study" and get good audio and topic friendly content. (it made my lit of TOP Websites for ELT). The lessons are all free (THANK YOU!) and with good quality… Continue

Supporter School Tube
I have rued and really disowned myself from TeacherTube. For many reasons, many highlighted here on The Tech Saavy Educator. I fully agree. Avoid them these days....School Tube is a fresh alternative. Really neat collection of videos and a nice, quicker and non commercial interface. Not blocked at schools. Here's an example, a… Continue
