Teaching Aids & Guides

A stimulating atmosphere for language teaching can be created by displaying posters, advertisements, maps, charts, timetables, signs, etc. together with work produced by the students themselves, in the classroom. It is important that teachers appreciate the way§ in which these simple aids, can help them in their teaching. The students and the objects in or just outside the classroom can also provide a lot of useful material for language learning, thus enabling students to appreciate its relevance to 'real life'. Other aids that teachers can use are also simple and readily available; pictures in the textbook, from magazines or drawn/copied by themselves their students, objects brought to the classroom seen from it, etc.
