Other English Sites

Considering the enormous variety of websites dealing with aspects of English teaching in different countries, different academic levels, ages and syllabuses, no list of English sites can be anything but partial and personal. Nevertheless, as so many sites lead on to other sites a list such as this plus searches with Google should bring to you everything you want.

Teachit English Teaching Resources.	This excellent resource offers a wealth of resources for very wide range of topics in the English Curriculum. I looked for Holes by Louis Sachar and found 13 separate resources - lesson plans and ideas, mainly in Word and pdf formats. I simply wished I had searched here before writing my own lesson scheme. An extended service called Teachit Plus is available at a small charge and provides even more resources, in Word format so they can be adapted to your own personal preference. Highly recommended.
