English

Flash cards are very versatile teaching resource especially for ESL and language

teaching They can be used virtually in any lesson and at every level of teaching ESL In fact flash cards are indispensable for the beginner and elementary level as at these stages the learners are engaged in developing their vocabulary

Flash cards are useful for teaching vocabulary in a number of ways: matching words to pictures, drilling vocabulary, concentration games, singular and plurals, nouns, verbs, adjectives etc

Flash cards are also very useful for sequencing activities, pair work and group work Flash cards are very useful for teaching grammar structures as well

This quote highlights the pedagogy/andragogy of using flash cards For example “Howard Gardener's multiple intelligence theory reminds teachers that there are many types of learners within any one class Gardener's research indicates that teachers should aim to appeal to all the different learner types at some point during the course It is particularly important to appeal to visual learners, as a very high proportion of learners have this type of intelligence Flashcards can be bright and colourful and make a real impact on visual learners Many of the activities outlined below will also appeal to kinaesthetic learners.”

It is not difficult to find flash cards, you just have to Google the term and then surf the websites to locate the relevant flash card resources However not all teacher have the necessary of time that is required to do this so I have collected some of the websites for ease of reference and access I hope that this resource is useful for colleagues own use in their classrooms as well as using flash cards to produce imaginative worksheets to share

on ESL printables for benefit of all
