I recently contacted eslactive.com on Twitter to ask them about their new website, which they founded in 2018. Here’s what they told me:

eslactive.com is a website made by English teachers, for English teachers. After experiencing first-hand the amount of paper we use in language schools every day, we felt compelled to try and make our industry a little greener. That’s why we list hundreds of free games, activities, projects and conversation ideas you can employ without printed materials.

“Another key part of our vision is the use of technology in the classroom. We recognise that it’s not always possible, and that new techniques can be daunting. However, we strongly believe that it will not only benefit the environment, but increase student engagement too. To allow you to explore the possibilities at your own pace, we’ve also developed a wide range of fun interactive games and generators.

“Most importantly, we understand how busy teachers are, so we want to make your life as easy as possible. All our resources are categorised and tagged by grammar/vocabulary topics, so you can find what you need quickly. There’s even the option to add activities to your own custom lesson plans, so you can save ideas for later.

“We hope you enjoy using the site, and are always here to help if needed.”

eslactive.com – it’s especially for you if you’re an EFL or ESL teacher – or both.
