Index Card Games for ESL Index Card Games for French Index Card Games for Spanish by: Staff, English Language Department The School for International Training Levels: All - Primary to Adult6 games in each book, easy to prepare and play using 3x5 index cards. Student-centered activities provide practice in: 
vocabulary building sentence/paragraph structure pronunciation &amp; spelling questioning conversation 
The explanation of each game includes a brief description of the game and a statement of its purpose, instructions for playing the game both for the teacher and for the students (in the target language), variations, and a list of grammar, vocabulary, and conversation situations which can be practiced with the game. 
A "starter kit" of sample games at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels is given for each game. Once the target language samples are put on index cards and the class has fun using the game, the same techniques can be used to practice whatever language or cultural information the students need to work on. The possibilities are endless. 
Language games are useful pace breakers. But more than that, they build a spirit of cooperation and of shared learning. The games were developed by teachers at the School for International Training.

Index Card Games for ESL, Revised Edition (Supplementary Materials Handbook 1)

To the ESL teacher: This book is a compendium of useful and interesting information for ESL teachers. It can be used in three ways: (1) as a resource for developing their own materials; (2) as a guideline for those who practice eclecticism; and (3) as photocopyable handouts for students. Because published textbooks are never completely satisfactory for a particular class, most teachers expect (or prefer!) to supplement the assigned text with their own exercises and activities. For this purpose, The ESL Miscellany is uniquely helpful, and it is organized in a way that is both professionally sound and pedagogically convenient. Any teacher committed to teaching ESL, whether to intensive, academic-bound students, recently arrived immigrants and refugees, or illiterate adults needs a variety of reference and resource books. The ESL Miscellany includes the right to reproduce any of its 292 pages! 
To the EFL teacher: You could take this book with you to teach in Indonesia, Warsaw, or Urungi, and you'd use it every day. So said an enthusiastic purchaser of this book at the TESOL Conference last March. I think she is probably right. This is a resource for developing materials; it's a guideline/checklist of facts and information, and it has many lists which can be used as handouts.... A very useful book. 
"The ESL Miscellany is perfect for my private tutoring endeavors. Obviously, my lesson planning is truly individualized and, furthermore, my approach is student centered. I like to mix and match techniques. A set of guidelines and checklists is what I needed. I really like the way the material is organized and presented." --Miriam Lopez, Tutor, North Arlington, New Jersey.

Writing, Research & Publishing Guides

The ESL Miscellany gives ideas and photocopyable vocabulary lists supporting most of what we do as ESL/EFL teachers today. First, there are 85 pages of linguistic material on the phonology, morphology/lexicon, and grammar of English.There are ten situations to be presented in lessons and discussed, such as health and safety, personal and family needs, shopping and services, recreation, and citizenship. There are also 63 topics to teach about - for example, cooking, human relationships, natural resources, math, the body, hotels, banking, law, the media, college, history, and death. It is important that we as teachers also focus on communicative functions, and there are four lists of functions to be considered at different proficiency levels.In this fifth edition there are 42 cultural topics updated - on U.S. and Canadian geography, government, and history; on sports, superstitions, education, and the media. And there are 17 metalinguistic topics including a glossary of grammatical terms, spelling rules, a high-frequency word list, abbreviations, road signs, and an atlas. Lastly, there are paralinguistic topics like photographs of American gestures and their meanings.
