Directory of ELT Resources
Welcome to TESL Ontario’s Directory of ELT Resources (formerly called Directory of Best Practices) where English language teachers will find an abundance of resources to assist with lesson planning, program delivery, professional development and more. The Directory was established in 2016 in response to a mandate by the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration to identify best practice resources for ESL, FSL, ESL Literacy, Citizenship, Special Needs, CLARS, and Specialized Language Training.
The English resources are categorized under three main headings:
- Curriculum Development
- Learning, Research, & Development for Instructors
- Tech for Language Teaching & Learning
The Directory is updated monthly by our ELT resource experts who provide links, descriptions and annotations to help teachers decide if each resource is relevant to their needs. We welcome your suggestions as well. Please send us the details of your favourite resources so we can add them to the Directory for others to consider.
