I. What resources are available for teaching    

      Resources refer to books, any person, animals, or any object, that make teaching and learning easier, clearer and nore interesting(Baker and Westrup, 2000:115). In English teaching,we will need different kinds of resources, such as textbook, pictures and photos, real objects,online reference materials, newspapers, multimedia packaged courses, CD-ROMs or DVDs(audio and video materials)

 Besides the resources publishers provided with the textbooks (flashcads, pictures, storybooks, tapes or CD-ROMs, etc.), the teachers themselves should also have their own particular teaching resources:
1. Create one's own file of pictures and cards.
2. Use you own creativity and imagination to provide a better learning environment for the students.
3. Make your students an important resource.
4. Use the Internet resource.
