Resource books for teaching young learners

Some of the excellent titles in the OUP resource book series

In the technology session we had on our teaching very young learners course this week, I mentioned the books in the superb OUP resouce book series for teachers of young learners.

Among the titles we have in the library (not quite the complete series) are the following, with the age groups they are intended for given in parenthesis:

• Art and Crafts with Children (4-12)
• Assessing Young Learners (6-12)
• Creating Stories with Children (4-14)
• Drama with Children (5-12)
• Games for Children (4-10)
• The Internet and Young Learners (7-15)
• Projects with Young Learners (5-14)
• Storytelling With Children (7-14)
• Very Young Learners (3-6)
• Young Learners (5-12)

Sample pages, activities, etc., are available online (registration required).

Clearly, not all the activities are suitable for very young learners, but I can most highly recommend the series...

Sure, you can find great things on the Internet, but you've got wonderful things in books, too!
