ESL Resources!


There are thousands of resources on the web, which take an equally long time to look through, so as I have had some free time on my hands to browse through some over the last few weeks I thought id post the ones that have been the most helpful to me. From lesson planning to flashcards, to worksheets...Enjoy :)

*Most of the stuff here is for Englissh teachers in South Korea but many of the websites are great for anyone teaching English as a Foreign/Second language*

I also have to post a link to one of the best phrasebooks ive ever come accross "Lonely Planet Korean Phrasebook", for learning Korean (obviously :) ). Order it through Amazon or Gmarket. I ordered it through Gmarket, it arrived in 3 days and only cost me W10 700... peanuts! It has really helped me through some sticky situations!
