Where to Find Teaching Resources?
Starting your first teaching job can be a nerve wracking experience for any newly qualified teacher. With any luck you will find yourself working in a well equipped school with a set curriculum and all the resources you’ll need readily available. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and some schools may not even have a chalkboard for you to use let alone the latest IWB hooked up to the students’ iPads. In this case it is important for a teacher to know where to look for appropriate materials for their classes, whether it is to supplement those resources already provided or to start a course from scratch.

Inspiration to Create Teaching Materials
Teaching is a creative enterprise and creating your materials is very satisfying. There are many positive reasons for a teacher to create their materials. Purposely created materials are inexpensive, tailored to specific grammar and language topics, adaptable for different language levels, specific expansions on the course resources, culturally sensitive and correct. From my perspective, among the most important reasons for creating your materials are that it adds a personal touch to your class, and it enables you to have a sense of ownership in the curriculum.

How to Engage Young ESL Learners in an Online Classroom
Shifting from a traditional classroom to a virtual setting can be daunting for teachers who do not have experience teaching online. This is especially the case if one has to keep young students engaged and motivated. What are the tricks to instill excitement and interest in preschoolers who do not have the intrinsic motivation to perform to achieve good grades? Their parents' primary desire is for them to speak like the native and one day go off to an internationally renowned US university or work for a foreign company. Young students are motivated by something else- a desire to have fun in a welcoming environment.
