ALT Sites

  • August 27, 2025

Hi

I'm just wondering which sites do you use to get ideas for making lessons at elementary, junior high and high school? I've listed one well known site below. I'm particularly interested at looking at a teaching site that's for high school. Thanks for any information.

  2. Which grade/proficiency levels and which courses are you assigned to?

    JALT has a few resources – [https://jalt-publications.org/tlt/departments/younger-learners](https://jalt-publications.org/tlt/departments/younger-learners) and [https://tyl.jalt.org/publications/#https://tyl.jalt.org/publications/#](https://tyl.jalt.org/publications/#https://tyl.jalt.org/publications/#)

    See the My Share column in The Language Teacher. Granted, many of them are labeled as uni level. They’re adaptable for high school lessons – [https://jalt-publications.org/tlt/departments/myshare/home](https://jalt-publications.org/tlt/departments/myshare/home)

    ALTTO has free, self-paced online courses and blog posts loaded with resources specifically for ALTs – [https://altto.net/](https://altto.net/)

    British Council Teaching Secondary – [https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/teaching-resources/teaching-secondary](https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/teaching-resources/teaching-secondary)

  3. If you just want ideas, try browsing Teachers Pay Teachers. It’s not ALT specific, but it’s a huge resource. 

  5. There used to be an ALT site where you could live chat to other ALTs nationwide 😂

    I forget what it was called, but it was pretty funny, everyone slacking off at the same time.

  6. I just type ‘(topic) activity worksheet for esl students’ in google and browse the images. usually pick up a few ideas from them to kick start my own.
