• Use lots of visual aids such as overhead projectors, films, videos, slides, chalkboards, flip charts, computer graphics, diagrams, charts, highlighting, underlining, drawing arrows, and pictures to illustrate all subjects, including the teaching of language. 

Consider alternatives –

•  OHPs can sometimes be more effective than writing on the board

•  Could your department use computer technology – afford the projector and screen – interactive board whatever.

(Well I can dream – can’t I?)

• Write neatly/legibly on the board, using coloured markers to emphasize different sections.

• When writing on the board, use a different colour on alternating lines.
