Looking for ELT resources online is sort of a hobby of mine, or at least something I enjoy doing anyway. There is a lot out there, but sometimes it's not that useful. Sometimes, however, the resources out there are inspiring and give me strong tools to complement the work being done in the classroom.  


I will keep this page updated, so come back often for new links and please feel free to suggest some of your own!
