Hi this is Russell Stannard from teachertrainingvideos.com got a great video
for you today obviously think into the future and hopefully teachers will be back in their
classrooms I'm going to show you an outstanding site with brilliant flash cards that are ideal
for anyone teaching any language and the best news is they're completely free
really hope you like the video and as always if you do please like it
please share it with other teachers please comment on it and of course
if you really like my work come and join me on my YouTube channel let's get started
Now I've been a fan of this website for years I've used it in my own teaching of English and
in my own studies of Chinese and of Spanish and also of Polish. Now, if we just have a
quick look at a set so let's just click on this set here just take this ones here around kind of
sports you can see the quality of the images and notice that we've also got the word underneath,
however we can choose to have different sizes and we can choose also for example just to have image
only. So if we click on image only then we don't get any of the text underneath and you'll see if
now that with the image only that there's no text so this could be used in any language. Now we
have other varieties as well so we can come down here and click on images with labels so we can
click on that that brings up the words. We've got words only as well as another possibility
and we've also got words with the IPA that's with the phonetic script or the phonemic script. Now,
I generally work with the images only- you've got three styles you can print them out small if you
go to medium then you can see they come out bigger and you've also got large now obviously if you do
large you're going to need lots of paper I'm going to download small because I like using them for
card games and I'm going to click on download and just show you the quality of one set so I'm going
to click on these ones.. They're going to download for me let's have a quick look how they look
Now, you can see they've opened up and now obviously what I would do look at those cards
they're absolutely fantastic the images are just such great quality all I need to do now is to
print those cards out and I can use them with my students I really encourage my students to
make use of this website as well because they can download the cards and use them for their
language practice absolutely brilliant place to access, really high quality images. Let's just go
back and look a little bit at some of the other options in terms of topics that are available
So let's just go back onto ESL cards okay you can search for different topics here
if you scroll down also you can see lots of the different topics that are available okay
all different types of images really great quality in fact you can click through here
but the easiest way is probably just to do it like this. I'm going to do for example
jobs and I'm going to click on enter that's going to search for jobs you can see there's all sets of
cards I'm going to click on this set here of cards that I'm really interested in again I can choose
do I want them small medium or large I'm going to do small I'm going to choose options this time
again I'm just going to go for images only and again i would just download and print them out.
Really is a website that I would uh make use of or I have made a lot of use of really would recommend
it to all teachers of all languages and those of you teaching english who like to teach the
phonemics or the phonetics I never know which is the right word
then you can see that you've also got the option of having the words with the IPA as well.
