You are welcome to use my TESOL/TEFL resources free of charge for non-commercial purposes including teaching.

 

The resources are suitable for (and probably only suitable for) use by a native English-speaking teacher working with Chinese-speaking students and were devised for use in studies supplementing regular English classes. The college level resources might be almost enough to keep a class seen once a week entertained for a semester.

Please note, this is not a complete course of study but a mixed-bag of resources ranging from brief ideas for a class through to fully prepared sessions complete with lesson plans. I have taken reasonable care in preparation but as you might expect you are invited to use at your own risk. I cannot guarantee accuracy or suitability for any particular group of students.

The resources are in UK English however, I have tried to make this usage as international as possible. I have some editorial experience in US English and guess these materials might also be helpful for an American teacher (or Australian etc).
 

I strongly recommend new teachers should check out online study courses. I studied online for my Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language with Global English. If you're going to teach English competently and without undue stress you need to know what you're doing. Even with a degree level education in another discipline, just being a native English speaker is not quite enough. Can you really remember your English grammar and do you know how to hold the attention of a class for an hour or more, several times a day, every day?

Please remember that these free to use resources are copyright and acknowledge the source. A simple reference to www.colincampbell.org would be just fine and a link to this site would be welcome.
