Everything ESL

You may or may not be familiar with this website by Judie Haynes from New Jersey. It offers lesson plans, vocabulary, teaching tips and resources (some free, others not). See in particular this nice link on animal classification and categorization. Lots of different levels. I’m ticking category 1 ESO but you’ll find material for other levels. Just enter a search term in the EverythingESL search box.

TES Teaching Resources

Teachers’ resources website. Register to receive regular emails on new resources designed to suit your needs.

BBC News – Spain Country Profile

As well as the BBC World Service’s excellent Learning English website, which you are all no doubt familiar with, here’s another great BBC website, this time about Spain in English. Latest news plus links relating to history, geography, the economy, art, literature, politics, culture and more. Drop-down menu for same on other countries. Great reading and resources for teachers and also possibly useful for class, although I’m not sure which levels!

BBC World Book Club

Monthly podcasts of well-known authors speaking about their most famous books. Great listening for teachers but also possibly year 4 literacy. See for example John Boyne on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Old podcasts also downloadable.
