For my teacher friends, I want to recommend an excellent place to get some great resources for teaching kids, teenagers and even adults.




Its called
eslkingdom.com


Click the LOGO


Here is the link to their catalogue of everything that is included in their program.

When I was in Tay Ninh, I introduced the ESL KINGDOM curriculum to 2 schools there, and they have been using it to teach kids very successfully. In fact it is so successful, that they have discontinued using the “normal” text books and use only Esl Kingdom curriculum, which requires NO BOOKS- That’s right- NO BOOKS.

If you check it out, you will see you need to register, and you can take a look at some of the lessons, but if you want access to all the lessons it costs about $25 for a full year-It is very much worth it. There are over 50 complete lessons for kids, and each one can last for about 2 hours, with flash cards, speaking exercises, listening, reading, writing, and activities like cross word puzzles and word searches, plus many visual exercises for students as well. And all themed and level graded.


As I said before, 2 schools I know of adopted this curriculum, and at only $25 for a full year, it is the cheapest curriculum they ever had, and they don’t need to stock books.

It has certainly been a success, and the students are talking very confidently after taking this course.

Take a look-you WILL be very surprised.

In case you are wondering, I am not connected to Esl Kingdom, so there’s nothing in it for me if you decide to join them-its just that they are so good, I want to share this with you.



PRONUNCIATION:

The single most difficult task in learning English is- you guessed it- PRO NUN CIA TION.

Here is a link to a pronunciation series of exercises from the BBC- Try them out- there are quite a lot of videos on this problem area, and also some funny ones. Give it a try.
