Unit 17 stresses equipment and teaching aids for use in the ESL classroom to make lessons more interesting, not as dependent on the course book, and more effective in helping comprehension. Not all schools have all the equipment listed.
My favorite five resources included in this unit and what I learned about each are:
1. white/black board: make sure to have a board plan previous to the lesson to indicate what to put on the board and when. Make sure it is correct, clear and eligible. Use underlines, circles, or different color marker pens to accent the point.
2. worksheets and work cards: particularly useful to adapt materials, use as prompts and cues, make rote-play cards, or for presenting new points.
3. text books(course books): provides a syllabus for that particular student level, includes premade exercise and tests, includes a good mix of grammar, vocabulary and skills with a progression of learning.
4. photocopier: excellent for copying materials to supplement text books.
5. internet capable computers: can be used as a reference resource to replace printed dictionaries and encyclopedias, use for email communication, videos, games and all types and levels of authentic materials.
The lists of online sources included Fred Riley's Computer Aided Language Learning resources (on-line dictionaries, on-line lessons, exercises and learning materials, literature and poetry, media lists, special interest groups, and resources for English teachers).
