‘I structure my classes around the coursebook, but there may be whole lessons where we don't
even open it.’

‘Nowadays learners expect schools to have state-of-the-art resources and they also expect that teachers will use them. Not
to do so might be considered unprofessional.’

‘I could teach anywhere, so

'A lot of the boring stuff associated with language learning can now be
done by the learners working on their own, using computers, for example. This frees up the classroom for the
really interesting stuff.'

• Resources are tools every ESL, EFL or TESOL teacher uses daily in order to enhance the language learning environment, motivate students or assist in student comprehension. (HINES, 2010)
• They are tools to help teachers in whatever approaches and techniques they have chosen to use and offer students an amazing variety of routes for learning and discovery. (HARMER, 2007)

Where do you look for resources?
• They are available at the place where I work.• I adapt and expand on the available resources.• I borrow resources from a professional resource
centre.• I buy my own resources.• I create my own resources.• I find resources on the internet.• I bring authentic materials to the classroom.• I involve students in the preparation of
resources.• Other _______________________________

• TASK• Imagine that you are to be given a grant of enough
money to buy a package of supplementary materials for your institution out of the list below. The question is: in what order will you buy them, and how will you decide? Work out an order of priority together with a colleague.
• PACKAGES OF SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS
• Package 1: A set of computers for learners use, with accompaning language learning programs on a DVD.
• Package 2: A set of reference books for the teachers including grammars, dictionaries, various specialized textbooks, handbooks of activities and a subscription of a teachers journal of your choice.

• Package 3: A number of overhead projectors and slide projectors with all necessary film, slides and markers.
• Package 4: Video equipment with assorted cassettes including language-learning material and films in the target language.
• Package 5: Computers and printers for teachers use; each computer has a hard disk with the latest word processor and various programs that enable you to compose your own computer tasks for learners.
• Package 6: Several cassette recorders with accompaning ear phones (so that several learners can listen quietly to one machine) a selection of accompanying cassettes for language learning.
• Package 7: A wide variety of posters and sets of coloured pictures plus board and card games for language learning,
• Package 8: A library of simplified readers in the target language ranging from very simple to advanced. There would be enough books in this library to enable all students to borrow freely.

• The most versatile piece of classroom teaching
equipment is the board – whether the more

provide a motivating focal point during whole-class
grouping.

OHP (overhead projector)• An OHP is used to display information to a class.• • ReasonsReasons

• Text and pictures can be modified in front of the class:– adding a transparency or taking one away.– writing on the transparency or wiping lines off.– obscuring or revealing parts of the transparency.
• OHTs can be made by photocopying or printing.• Ss can write on OHTs and the results can be shown

• Below is a list of 6 video techniques. What are the possible pedagogical implications and objectives of each technique?
• Videos can generally be presented in 6 forms:• 1. With sound only (sound on / vision off: only
listening with the screen covered with a cloth, a newspaper or turned away from the Ss’ vision).
• 2. Without sound (sound off / vision on: silent viewing).
• 3. Right through from beginning to end (complete viewing: sound and vision on).
• 4. In parts (jumbling sequences). • 5. Freeze-frame (motionless pictures: pause
control). • 6. Split viewing (jigsaw-viewing: some of the class
listen without watching while the others watch without listening).

• Viewing should not be introduced for its own sake;
• It should be an active viewing; • tasks and activities - help learners
understand, and guide their viewing and comprehension.
• To foster active viewing:– three types of activities
• pre-viewing activities; • (while) viewing activities; • post-viewing activities.
• ELT materials vs. Non-ELT materials
