The listing of resources available to EFL teachers was of great interest to me. Bogglesworldesl, Lantern Fish ESL, and Interchange/New Interchange will be of great use to me in teaching, as will the role playing cards. The lesson drove home the point for me that you must be creative when engaging your students but you must also be discerning in what materials are offered and what should be used. Looking back on my volunteer ESL teaching at the first community center I see now that the text book we used was lacking in creativity. It was more drills, very straightforward. I and the class would have benefitted more from the use of authentic materials vs. created.
