Use what's already there - if you can find it..

Betty - one of the wonderful teachers at Lalor LLC - spent a fair bit of time creating some activities in powerpoint, that let her students match images with audio. But then she found this website "English Guide" (dot org), and decided it was much better to use resources that someone else had already made.

"They have everything," she exclaimed delightedly. Every theme and topic you could want for low-level English as a second language (ESL) learners.

What a good point this teacher has made! Why spend hours creating learning materials, when there are existing resources out there already?
