Conceição had written to us with the following request:
"Hello people of "English Banana"!
"I find your site interesting and useful to my classes. I use lots of materials in my classes. Sometimes I create them myself which takes a long time, but I love it! I usually visit englishbanana and others ESL sites to find new ways of teaching and to make my students love English. (Sometimes that's the most difficult part because they don't like to study...)
"As I create lots of PowerPoints by myself to use in class, I'd like to ask if it would be possible to provide teachers with this kind of material?"
We told her that we didn't know of any sites that offered this kind of material, so we couldn't advise much more than having a quick search on Google. However, we asked Conceição if she would be willing to share some of her original PowerPoint presentations with English Banana viewers. She replied:
"Hi friends,
"I'm glad you liked my "very simple" ppts. for beginners. I don't mind you putting them on line. It would be nice to see my work and share it. When I say share, I really mean share, because unfortunately sometimes people use materials from others and there's no feed back. That's a pity for me! it happens all the times. My colleagues don't makes this sort of material, so it's a kind of "single" work. My husband motivates me a lot, and by this time he's my lonely support. I'd like to ask you if it would be possible to contact other ESL teachers and share new material,not only give it?!
"I mean, I love making ppts and this kind of stuff, but I would also love to find new ones for my classes and not only made by me.
"I'm anxious to see my ppts on-line - and why not other materials...?"
So, over to you! Have you created some great PowerPoint presentations for English lessons that you are willing to share with our hundreds of thousands of viewers? Do you have any feedback for Conceição about her presentations? Or do you know of any great PowerPoint resource sites that we can highlight on this page?
