How to design your resource file:
You should design your resource file to be as accessible and easy to use as possible.
Sections:
Your resource file should be organized into sections, each of which focuses on a particular resource. I should find a very brief explanation of each resource on a “contents” pages.
Activities:
Each activity should be given a short and, we hope, a memorable title followed by a brief description of the main aim and a set of procedures.
Headings:
These can help to indicate everything you need to know to carry out each activity successfully.
Levels:
You can suggest for each activity the suitable level. These are described as :
• Beginner
• Elementary
• Pre-intermediate
• Intermediate
• Upper-intermediate
• And advanced
Equipment/Materials:
You can list the things you will need to have with you in the classroom to help you accomplish the activity.
Appendix:
You can add any suggested materials for any of the activities or provide further articles supporting your activities in a separate "Appendix" at the back of the file.
What is the “Teacher Resource File?
(It is a file that you should) plan and work.
The “Teacher Resource File” is not a file of lesson plans but of activities, strategies and games.
It should help you exploit the resources and tools around you, whatever they are.
Rather than focusing on ready resources, as is often the case, this task, the" English Teacher Resource File”, will enable you to become more resourceful English Teacher.
The best method to put your theory into practice the contents of the resource file:
As your task is not to gather lesson plans, you can be flexible in the way to collect the activities so that they can be used within a range of different lesson formats and at different stages of teaching.
The sections of the resource file:
Section 1 Newspaper
Using them to develop and practice reaching and speaking skills.
Section 2 Articles
Select good articles from English languages newspapers and magazines to be suitable for your students needs, interests or even to include “authentic materials” into your classroom.
Section 3 Songs
Knowing the words of the songs gives learners greater help to develop language acquisition.
Non native speakers often find English language songs frustrating.
Very important in this section to collect some songs with a certain task that can develop their English in terms of Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
You can bring collection of English songs and develop a lesson with many tasks around them.
Section 4 Icebreakers and welcoming
Activities that increase activities getting classes off to a good start.
Section 5 Dialogues
Making the most effective use of dialogues from any source.
Section 6 Warmers and fillers
Filling gaps without wasting time.
Section 7 Questionnaires
Helping Students to ask and answer their own questions.
Section 8 Dictionaries
Helping students use this often neglected resources to the full.
Section 9 Teaching with technology
Using computer, radio and TV internet resources, and use them to work as an effective learning aids rather than simple entertainment.
Section 10 – Pictures, flash cards and cartoons.
