EL Teaching and Learning Resources (Saravanan)

English Exercises. Org
http://www.englishexercises.org/exercise.asp?id=2118

This is one of the most important resources that i have been using for the lessons back in my school. Basically, it is a useful tool for any beginning teacher, who has no clue of how to begin. The one thing i like about this resource is it only allow downloads if you share your own resources. Thus, there is a level of assurance that you will be getting quality worksheets and lesson ideas even if you contribute significantly. The other advantage is the website is free and accessible by anyone and anywhere. As such, teachers can also direct students to this website and ask them to try selected worksheets.

This is a useful website for teachers, who considers using songs to teach English especially grammar skills. The resources come in two forms: videos and worksheet templates. Videos are specially created for the particular lesson or taken from youtube. Teachers visiting this website have the opportunity to listen and view the media as well as refer to the worksheets. For different kind of grammatical skills, different songs are used. For example, for past tense, the Celine Dion song, 'Because you loved me' is being used.

Writing paragraphs is an area where my normal academic students are very weak in. This website teaches them the structure of paragraphs by showing examples and offers them tips to write paragraphs. The thing i like about this web resource is that it distinguishes between explanations, elaborations, topic sentences and paragraphs. Especially useful for visual learners, who like to see the structure through examples and sample essays
