   What are some good resources for teaching ESL?
   
   Í will be off to South Korea in August to teach English and am looking for good websites/books/resources/ideas to teach English to students from elementary to high school. I am told we will find out what grade we will be teaching once we arrive. Would love to hear your ideas and/or stories about teaching overseas.

   A picture dictionary is a great resource, and I've used them when teaching ESOL to adults. They are arranged by subject; for example, construction site and housework are a couple of topics. Then i like to write sentences that go with the picture--usually I do a double-sided copy. At first, I did the sentences in English only, adding footnotes in Vietnamese when the students told me. Sometimes I write sentences in English and Spanish.

   You'll find all kinds of instructional how-to videos for teaching English there. Almost all of them were shot in Korea too.

   You could check out Bartleby Learn. The site features QAs in simple English across different subjects and competency levels. Sometimes ESL learners struggle to tap into their English literacy skills while taking non-language courses. It takes a while for them to adapt to English as a medium of instruction. Diversifying your learning material might mitigate this. The site also has a writing tool to check grammar and spot plagiarism; it also offers remedial suggestions. Hope this helps!
