Selection and use of teaching aids

Teaching aids are the resources and equipment available to teachers that they can use in 

the classroom. In addition, they can bring extra teaching aids  in order to help students. 

Some of the teaching aids, teachers can use in the classroom are, whiteboards, computers, 

CD players, DVD players, and overhead projectors (OHPs). All of these materials can be 

visual aids which can be very useful if the teacher uses pictures, realia. For example, 

teachers can use flashcards, pictures, word maps, mind maps, and if the teacher wants 

to teach them about clothes, teachers can use some clothes to teach them some 

vocabulary.

If the teachers work with kids it is necesary to use puppets and charts to make them 

understand the language, and also teachers can use technology such as; overhead 

projector, CD player, DVD player. These can be good to make students listen and watch 

videos, fables, stories. These materials are really useful to make the class active.
