how do i get any props in the uk to teach esl to persians?

Question

the props or equipment i need to find to teach esl

Answer 1

You don't 'need' any props, equipment to teach language, but they sure help! Along with other sources mentionned, don't forget garage sales (or whatever they might also be called in the UK), second-hand stores, friends with children. 'dollar stores' (stores where everything in them cost $1)
I kept all my daughter's plastic food, toy dishes, plastic vacuum cleaner and many animal toys when she outgrew them and now they are in boxes in my classroom. I also have 'ugly' clothes and lots of paper plates to make masks. No matter how old your students, a prop, toy or real, helps make the language real, but on a teacher's salary, we have to make do with what we can find.
And, once your students know you use props, you will find yourself the recipient of plastic fruit and stuffed animals for presents! (seriously appreciated, I might add)

Answer 2

Persians?? I thought they are now called Iranians. They haven't been Persians for many, many years. Anyway, props are easy to find and use in teaching another a language. Kitchen utensils are a good beginning as is dinnerware and articles found around the room like a table, desk, chair, drapes, windows, doors, or maps.

Good luck!!

Answer 3

I use interesting photographs and objects. Some relevant to their own culture, others relevant to the area they are now living. Photos can be found on the net, in free newspapers and magazines. Also attend last days of exhibitions when catalogues and articles are given away for free.
