[eal-bilingual] TES resource bank [Scanned]

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry I have not been around to join in the 
string. To follow up: Luke is most likely right that posting a link 
does not provide all the irrevocables for the TES. I will continue to 
post links on TES to activities which are likely to attract interest 
from mainstream teachers on the principle that it will work towards 
creating more eal friendly classrooms. Like the needs of EAL pupils 
collaborative activities can be plotted on the language needs/social 
needs/learning needs triangle in a variety of places and consequently 
some of them are more attractive than others to classroom/subject 
teachers. I will and can remove links whenever the take up is small 
and/or they don't get rated or commented on. I am thinking at the 
moment of only posting links to quicklooks rather than the full 
activities. Ever since I first started sharing activities they have 
been nicked/plagiarised by publishers including (and in particular) the 
strategy: a form of flattery??? Still they are designed to be good 
enough to use and easy to tweak so I should not be surprised. If you 
are posting any activities I'll be happy to add a link to the clp site 
if it is not linked already.

Wise move.

I have a website - www.littlelearner.eu which provides EAL resources,
mainly to support Polish speakers. Some resources are free, some are
chargeable. There are also a selection of links to other good sites.

I agree with Sarah on this - I recently published an educational
resource, 
and was presented with a contract giving the publishers first refusal 
on

anything else I ever wrote! I crossed it out. There is a long history 
of

creative work being appropriated by business people for their own
purposes, 
and teachers, blessed with an above average goodwill quotient, are 
particularly vulnerable. So, post on this site, or start a blog. I've
done 
this, johnbald.typepad.co/language, with ideas for teaching reading 
and 
languages.   John Bald, independent consultant
