Ideas and resources for Young Adult and Teenage classes

If you missed the February INSETT on this one, here are the links and ideas I mentioned:

• don't forget the Teaching Materials Bank on the Staffroom on the BC's intranet. You need to become a member (quick + easy) then you can access material by age, CEF level, skill and topic. Good for flipcharts.
• ready made class plans from James Keddie (mostly elementary and intermediate)
• ideas for class work from The English Blog
• new ideas daily from ex BC TeachEnglish site Nik Peachy
• more tips, resources and teaching materials from the same guy
• lesson plans based around current news
• great for work on instructions/ jigsaw readings/listenings videojug.com. For example, get half your class to watch http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-be-the-perfect-girlfriend and the other half to watch http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-be-the-perfect-boyfriend then get them to report back on what they learnt and discuss the 2 videos.
• fun way to practise pronunciation with karaokes (register yourself first before the class for a greater choice of songs)
• and don’t forget the BC's LearnEnglish site :
  Recommended: Agents Underground, Scary spelling game, Vocabulary/spelling game
• For practising listening skills LearnEnglish podcasts
• More listening and comprehension practice Big City Small Word sitcom
