We all love ISL Collective and if you're anything like me (a self-professed grammar nerd), constantly trying to find new and exciting materials to use in the ESL classroom can be time-consuming and laborious.



I've created this database of websites I've found particularly helpful in the past 14 years that I've been teaching, both as a TESOL trainer and at Ground Zero (in the ESL classroom).  



You won't need to give them your credit card details.  Registering with some of the sites can be a bit of a mission, but you'll reap the rewards!



Please note: I don't possess any copyright to these materials.  Here's to paying it forward and be sure to tell me your favourite websites in the comment section!

Awesome E-Resources Database

Simple cards featuring a variety of famous people (most of them no longer with us) to be used when practicing years, birthdays plus introduction of the past simple of [i]to be[/i]\. I created them with my adult beginner students in mind so they could ask and answer about ages and birthdays without having to give their own information (this activity ties in nicely with Unit 9 in the Headway Beginner book). I find that students of all ages enjoy taking on "new identities". This worksheet is fully editable so that you can adapt the famous people to suit the students you teach and the culture you teach in. Not to mention, adapt it for teens (e.g.: Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, Tupac, Amy Winehouse, etc. ) Have fun!

Famous People Speaking Activity Cards

An awesome database of website addresses which offer amazing materials to get students writing. Updated for 2022. Happy New Year!

New Year Resolutions. Picture Dictionary (Future tense will)

TWO-PART WS. FUTURE TENSE (WILL) PRACTICE. Everyone is making promises on New Year's Eve, even though they know they will likely not keep it. On this Ws Ss have to match each promise with the person who made it. It's good practice for the future simple tense, since all of the promises are simple 'will' sentences.
