Twinkl Resources for ESL Teachers

Are you still teaching or learning English as a second language with old-school methods? Want some fun resources to activate your mind? This group has over 12K members and I hope it continues to grow, I recommend Twinkl Resources for ESL Teachers, speakers of English, English Teachers and English learners.

Many years ago, I had the opportunity to teach an English Second Language (ESL) class to a group of students in high school. I was told before I took the assignment that the previous teacher had laid out the semester and that all I had to do was follow her plans.

That information turned out not to be correct. I started the class and found there were no lesson plans, no records, and no information about what the students needed or where they were in learning the language. All I knew was that at the end of the term, the students would be given a proficiency exam which would determine if they moved ahead or stayed where they were for another year. 

I am a good researcher, but it took me about two weeks to figure out what I needed to do and then I had to find resources to use. It was not easy and back then there were not a lot of great resources. Today English as a Second Language Teachers have many more choices than I did. I maintain a passing interest and I came across a fantastic resource on Facebook called Twinkl Resources for ESL Teachers. 

They have over 655,000 resources for teachers, they offer many of them for free. In addition, they offer help if you have a question or are looking for specific help. The videos they put up on Facebook are original, funny, and accurate. I wish I had access to this resource when I was teaching ESL. If you are an English teacher, or an English user, or an ESL teacher or a learner of English, there is something here for you. 

As I said her site is original and filled with humour, and I highly recommend this site to you. Here are three ways to contact the site, via Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TwinklESL go to the site https://www.twinkl.ca/ directly or you can join the group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/TwinklTEFLGroup/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social
