Are you ready for your students?
Are you an ESL teacher? I am. I’m an American who’s been teaching in Vietnam for about 4 months. I’ve found it difficult to find practical websites. Useful websites that will actually help me in the classroom.
I’ve also listed 4 activities you can do with your students. These work inside or outside of the classroom.
Plus I have a link to a handy Firefox extension. It makes it easy to download a YouTube video. You won’t have to worry about a slow loading video anymore. Just download it before class starts.
Do you know a practical website that isn’t on this list? Add it with a comment.

WOW – you certainly did a lot of research. FANTASTIC. Thanks for sharing.
just a question – does the youtube downloader SW make any changes to my computer which I might regret later? There is another way of downloading youtube files without downloading any SW – just remove ‘www’ and insert ‘ss’ in front of the link. But I noticed that it doesn’t work all the time, or maybe there was s’thing wrong with my laptop.
cheers

The YouTube downloader extension is fine. It came recommended from a friend of mine. You (or your computer) won’t regret installing it. 😉
