In this Unit, (Unit 17: Equipment and teaching aids), I've learned the different resources or teaching equipments that we can use in teaching. these are the following; 1.)white/black board - can be used for many things. writing, drawing, sticking things on, projecting overhead transparencies etc. 2.) Interactive whiteboard - or smartboards. 3.) Overhead projector - are useful for showing pre--prepared overhead tranparencies or as an alternative to the board. 4.) Visual aids- commonly used visual aids are real objects, pictures and photos. 5.) Worksheets and work cards - these can be bought from a publisher or made by the teacher. 6.) The cassette recorder - most useful tool for the EFL teacher for many years. they can be used to record authentic materials, record the student's communication, or for teachers to make their own dialogues for use in the classroom. 7.) CD player -have largely taken over from cassettes over the last few years and are now widely used as a primary audio source in the classroom. 8.) Videos & DVDs - can be used for many things; presenting information, giving background to a topic, various forms of dialogus & interactions, building listening comprehension skills. 9.) Video camera - it's major use it to record students during an activity, and then play it back to them for analysis discussion. 10.) Dictionaries - can be in book or computer form. it is the single most useful tool available for students as it help students look up meaning, pronounciation and usage. I've learned also about Course books, Resource books, Photocopiers, Computers and online resources.
