Teaching English: http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/
Teaching English provides a range of services including weekly up dated articles on methodology, activities to try and lesson plans complete with photocopiable classroom materials. There is also a community of language teachers who use the 'Talk' section to exchange ideas and opinions on ELT. You can download quizzes and a variety of reference materials, including books and radio programmes, from the site, or if you feel you have ideas or opinions that you feel would be useful to share with others you could submit an article or a lesson plan.

SearchEnglish: http://searchenglish.britishcouncil.org/
SearchEnglish is a powerful search engine and community building tool that draws on databases of open access ELT news related articles and ELT journals, which have been specifically selected. The site enables registered users to set up ongoing search queries and receive up dates by email.

The Language Assistants' site was designed specifically to support novice EL teachers taking their first steps into the classroom. The site has bite sized materials which include regularly updated teaching tips, theme based teaching activities with photocopiable worksheets in our Essential UK section, and a range of language learning games for the classroom and useful links. There is also a complete teaching manual which can be downloaded for free.
