One of the most difficult teacher's task is to choose supplementary activities such as:
-Class library of readers which give students confidence and encourages extensive reading. Personally, I enjoy reding for pleasure and my favorite books come from Macmillan edition.
-Skills practice books: they focus on individual skills
-Teacher's resources and worksheets provide new ideas for lessons
-Websites provides a variety of lesson plans, tecahing materials and other resources.
-DVDs provide visual context and show body language.
-Language practice books provide extra practice and learner's autonomy.
-Electronic materials: provide motivation and familiar technology for learners.
-Games: They are awesome to increase student's motivation and enjoyment besides language practice.
I think we as English teachers must consider the scheme of work of the institutions and try to have a complete domain of the teacher's book in order to give learners the experience of working with more challenging texts and tasks. In the use of supplementary activities and materials teachers must try learners to get used to the methodology and procedures in their coursebook.
