present simple: One more . . .

Links for language teachers

I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.

ESL Lounge

Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.

British Council

Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.

The Internet TESL Journal

They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.

Humanising Language Teaching

This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.

Dave's ESL Cafe

Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.

Karin's ESL PartyLand

This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.

Good luck!
