I have learnt in the section of "Equipment and Teaching Aids" about many different ways in which an English teacher can make the learning experience more interesting and memorable for learners. One technique is to use teaching aids. Board is the most common tool that we can find in a classroom, whether it is white, black or green. It is essential to develop a class because teachers can use it to organize, explain , and to develop a class in order to obtain the maxium effect.
A teacher can use worksheets and work cards for students to act as prompt/cue materials, write the exercises with authentic material, make cards (role-play) for communication activity and read grammar exercise/cards for new vocabulary.Visual aids are visual representations which support presentations in the form of text, cartoons, graphs, illustrations, photographs.These can be OHP transparencies, handouts, flipcharts, posters, objects etc. They help to break up the monotony, providing a visual stimulant to reinforce what the learners are hearing.Overheads are also known as OHPs, slides and transparencies. They are pictures or writing printed, written or drawn onto a sheet of acetate. This can be placed on the bed of an overhead projector and via light and magnification technology an image is projected onto a white wall or screen.Videos, DVDs and audio tapes can be useful ways of reinforcing, introducing or filling in detail on the subject being taught. These can be shown to the class as substitute for a lecture or presentation and used exactly the same way with the participants free to take notes as they choose.Finally, it is one of the language teacher´s most useful tools, all the coursebooks and many other published EFL materials are accompained by cassettes.
