Learning English By Flashcards

Introduction

One of the best aspects of teaching English as a foreign language is the ability to make classes fun. Teaching vocabulary using games is a great way to engage the class. One of the interesting ways is to use flash cards. Flash cards are useful for teaching animals, alphabets, transportation, body parts, colors, foods, etc.

The flashcards have a colorful picture with a word that explains the picture. You can make the flashcards yourself or you can have students make them as a class activity or for homework. You can also get the flash card through the Internet. If you make your own flash cards, leave the other side blank because you can use them to play memory games. Once the cards are made, you can use them for a number of games and activities.
