TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
Most of my students hate English, my lessons and me. Teaching English as a second language can be very tiring and depressing sometimes. Anyway, the news that a student succeeded in an exam thanks to your lessons and advice, can give you a flavour of happiness and enthusiasm, much greater than anything else. It is a sign that you are performing your mission well, that you are getting positive results.
Teachers, nowadays, are very lucky, because they can use instruments and technologies that 20 or 30 years ago were completely ignored or did not exist. The Internet is really a great innovation with all its pros and contros, but as every means of communication, one must learn to use it to avoid wasting time, energies and money.
For my colleagues and for my students I signal the following list of web-sites from which they will be able to download useful and interesting resources:
