Got a Textbook?
Well don't be fooled, you'll still probably need supplementary materials & games to beef up your classroom learning if you want your students to get better. While I like the textbook I've chosen to teach from, it doesn't have nearly as much vocabulary as I think my students should be learning; thus, I often need to extend the lesson with additional materials.
- extra worksheets or vocabulary words
- bringing in some videos/media
- a short Powerpoint presentation (*visuals are never a bad idea, if they have purpose & meaning)
- a short newspaper article
- games
- role play dialogue
- a cartoon strip
... pretty much anything that can enhance a class.
What I've been using a lot are GAMES. Yes and I occasionally use similar games that I do with my kids. Adults love games too (although they'll initially be dragging their feet). It's a fun way to get them interacting conversationally.
