Teaching aids in my opinion. Just about anything can be used as a teaching aid. Most common for me are white board, Curriculum books, work sheets, games, outside media material, Flash cards. TV for video and listening, and computers for researching. And could be a lot more list is really kind of endless.
The Idea is using things that are appropriate for each lesson to and make it interesting. Most common is the whiteboard and Books. A lot of books have CD/DVD today with listening and watching exercises as well. And it’s nice to give students a break from book and give some outside listening and videos at times.
I always try to alternate books, work sheets, Whiteboard eliciting, TV listening and watching. And have conversations on the language and how it is used in our daily lives. To put lessons or learning in proper perspective.
Example of one of my Teen classes: Showing a Video of Teens doing a Job interview, The Video has 2 parts. A bad interview and a much better interview. But yet can still be improved on. It makes the students ask and speak about many different things of what to do and what not to do. During a job interview. Then use the white board to elicit The Good and the Bad. And how to improve it.
Then we will act out with each student a job interview. To give the student an idea how it should go. To build their confidence and speaking. Sometimes we will Video record their first one then a second one to see how they have improved.
Many teaching aids are out there it’s all about keeping perspective on lessons and help keep them interesting.
