If you are lucky enough to have internet access in your classroom, you’d be stupid not to take advantage of it.
Youtube is full of useful ESL videos that you can play to your class to assist with teaching. While relying heavily on videos may be a cop out, using them selectively can help create a more dynamic classroom environment.
A channel I cannot recommend enough is Storybots, found here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/storybots
(recently changed to Netflix Jr)
I primarily use it to show clips when I teach the alphabet as a little break in between activities—the kids love the animations. Each video utilizes a large variety of words that can help expand children’s vocabulary. The music in the Storybot videos is catchy and after listening to a certain one a few times, the class will try to sing along!
Storybots also has an assortment of other songs that can be used for many different things such as ‘clean up’, ‘teeth’ and numbers.
Why not try to spruce up your lessons? Check it out.
