Very interesting post about experiencing classes from the student point of view. I wish we (myself included) were able to do this...even with doing classroom observation I have learned about the importance of breaks, no matter how engaging the lesson is

Some really good ideas in here for teaching students how to interact with text, not just read the words on a page. Could be used across the levels, from Level 2 up.
I love word clouds but am never quite sure how to use them effectively. There were some interesting ideas in here, especially the one about essay writing (#3, I think?)
Written for K-12, most points are even more salient for adult learners, especially regarding tying content into real life applications. How many of our students ask "why am I learning to write a persuasive essay? I'm studying computer engineering".
This is a vocabulary learning platform with phonics. It has many, many vocabulary categories to choose for lower level vocabulary (classroom instructions/ parts of the body) to more advanced vocabulary (character traits, natural disasters, solve the crime). It has matching quizzes for each category. Definitely good for lower levels 1-4.
grammar powerpoints from Azar. Highly recommended by Jaime and personally I think Azar does a great job of presenting grammar clearly. All free for download!
Learning from failure..interesting assessment ideas in here
Popularized from the book of the same name, the idea behind failing forward is to see failing as a part of success rather than its opposite.
