10 Best Online Resources for ESL Teachers
Teaching English in Japan is a challenging experience, especially if you are new to the country. New foreign English teachers should always equip themselves with materials to make every child’s learning experience wonderful. I am sharing the 10 best online resources to make your class interactive and fun.
- Twinkl
A monthly subscription is required to access all teaching materials. I really like the most about this online resource because they have PowerPoint presentations ready for teachers. Even for just one class, making slides takes a lot of time. I usually save time whenever I get slides relevant to what I want to teach in class. Their online games and PowerPoint games are all amazing! Another thing is that Twinkl has teaching materials related to IB. If you are working at an IB international school, Twinkl is just for you!
- Raz-kids
A variety of age-appropriate lessons creates enthusiasm and interest in kids. Raz Kids is a reading resource for teachers to utilize in their classes. Teachers can assign reading material based on the students’ reading level. Aside from doing a guided reading session for students with zero English level, teachers can also give students to answer quizzes every time they finish reading. Worksheets can also be printed out. Assessment reading can also be done before assigning a reading material for each student. Time constraint is a teacher’s enemy. Having access to this kind of online resource saves time and effort.
- Education.com
Similar to Twinkl, Education.com needs a one-time yearly subscription fee. All the materials on their site are downloadable. If you are looking for easy-to-download and access lessons, education.com has so much to offer!
- Kahoot
Let’s make use of technology in our class. Kahoot offers tons of lesson plans. Teachers can assign homework and group work to multiple students. They can make their own lesson plans and activities as well.
- DLTKs Site for Children
One of the best sites teachers should know about is this! It has tons of coloring pages for small kids. Their printable children’s crafts are fantastic too!
- Busyteacher.org
This website is my favorite. It has numerous worksheets. The website is free.
- Linguahouse.com
https://www.linguahouse.com/subscription-plans/teachers
This website is suitable for teaching intermediate to advanced level students. The lesson plans have videos and audio, making your lesson fun and interactive. There is a yearly subscription to access their Silver and Gold lesson plans.
- Superteacherworksheet
https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/letter-g-learn.html
A yearly subscription fee of $25.00 is needed to get full access to the superteacherworksheet. They have tons of worksheets for K12. The worksheets are divided by themes and subjects.
- Quizziz
https://quizizz.com/admin/quiz/start_new/5fabeec5b500d6001c656edf
This is also my favorite learning app. They have lesson plans that teachers can share with their students. Teachers do not have to spend hours and hours making a PowerPoint presentation for their own class. There are ready-made quizzes that are fun for students.
- ELLO
With free access to all their audio with quizzes, I would say that this is one of the online resources teachers should know about. Aside from audio and quizzes, transcripts are also provided to supplement learning.
