I taught English for one year in China. Here are some materials and ideas that teachers and students may find helpful.

Murder in Cardville

An engaging murder-mystery card game that will get students talking and persuading in English.

He/She Tests

Tests that I devised and wrote to help Chinese students master the pronoun systems of English.

Role Playing Exercises

Exercises that get students speaking in English. Each student assumes a "role" or "character."

Hot Seat

Student-centered discussion on subjective, philosophical or controversial topics.

Activities Assortment

A wide assortment of English-language activities to keep students engaged.

Handouts/Exams

Here are a variety of handouts and exams that I wrote for my students. Unfortunately I don't have the original Word files anymore, so these have been scanned into bitmap files and zipped. Bring them into your favorite picture-editing software and print them from there.
