You may not have used many different resources in your classes. There are many reasons why teachers do not use many resources in their classes. A group of teachers said:

You can use resources beyond the textbook to support your students’ English language learning. These resources don’t need to be expensive, and they can be in other languages, and readily available in your community.
In Activity 1, you will think about the kinds of resources beyond the textbook that you could use in your English classes.
Discuss the questions below with a colleague if you can.
Resource | Available | Available in English | I have used |
---|---|---|---|
Library books | |||
Comics | |||
Pictures, photos or drawings | |||
Newspaper articles | |||
Magazines | |||
Sports reports | |||
Tourist information brochures | |||
Popular songs | |||
Radio programmes | |||
TV programmes | |||
Mobile phones | |||
Computers and the internet | |||
Are there other resources that you have access to but don’t use? Keep this list for future reference and perhaps return to the list in a few months to think again about the range of resources you use in the classroom.
