Well we're onto our final blog post regarding 5 great tools for teaching and learning English/Adult Literacy.
The final tool I believe to be useful as a teaching tool is:
Everythingesl.net
This website is a good resource tool for Teaching because within it you are able to learn about new teaching strategies for English. A teacher has access to lesson plans, teaching tips and amazing resources.
The website is fitted with a search option so that if you are searching for a specific topic you will be able to find it very quickly. This is extremely helpful as it means you don't need to go through hundreds of lesson plans for example, in order to find one that you are looking to find ideas from on a topic.
I put adult literacy into the search when I was looking for ideas and tips to help me become a better teacher and below is an example of one page I received back. I found this very valuable and after reading I had many new ideas of how to create my own lesson plan.
The only downside I found to this tool is that is can be used for all levels of teaching the English language. Due to this it is harder to find a topic that suits the age ranges you are looking to create plans for. There also seems to be more topics for young children as opposed to the Further Education sector that I am interested in.
Although I found Everythingesl.net to be a useful tool for teaching, unfortunately I think it is better used for younger classes. I will still use it sporadically but it is not a tool I will be using everyday.
Thanks for reading!
