ESL Resources

Jennie has prepared some ESL handouts which Jo will forward to you shortly. In the meantime, Jennie also has the following suggestions:

• Take the ESL resources sent to them and any other resouces they may have. The Word and Language Games have ideas they make like to use.
• Songs, (including actions) and poems are fun and very popular with the students. These can be written onto large charts prior to going to the school. If they taped some songs/nursery rhymes we could source a tape deck.
• Photocopy short stories or poems out of books and enlarge them to A3. If they are laminated they could be used again by the teachers. (laminating could be done in Cambodia.)
• Large pictures for discussion - eg. people doing things, topic pictures. If you draw, you could sketch pictures relevant to Cambodian life once you are in country. Calendars are also useful.
• Websites to check out: www.eslcafe.com www.onestopenglish.com (both excellent)
• A selection of bi-lingual story books (Khmer and English) will be available for reading/using with students. You may like to source some Khmer stories in English from the internet.
• Keep lessons simple and have fun.
• Volunteers will work in pairs in each classroom.
