AylaraTalks

Just getting started

AylaraTalks Teacher Community

AylaraTalks grows from real lessons. This is where teachers tell us what their class needs next and how a lesson went. The community is new, and every message is read by a person.

Stay in touch

Write to us on Telegram, or get an occasional email. No account needed.

Telegram

Write to us directly on Telegram: questions, ideas, a photo of a worksheet in action (no children's faces, please).

Email updates

An occasional email when something new and useful is ready. Nothing more often than that.

Email updates aren't switched on yet

We haven't opened the email list yet, so this page can't take your address. To hear when it opens, message us on Telegram or use the contact page.

Suggest a resource or a topic

What's missing for your class? A topic, a game for one tricky sound, a worksheet you keep making by hand. Tell us.

For example: a kids' group twice a week, private lessons, a school class of 25.

The more concrete, the better: topic, words, how you'd use it in class.

The site doesn't send messages itself. The button opens your own email app with your answers filled in, and you decide whether to send it.

Tell us how a lesson went

Used a game, a worksheet or a tool in class? What worked and what fell flat is the most useful thing a teacher can tell us.

A name or a link, for example “Animals bingo” or the page address.

How did it go?

Please no children's names or other details that identify a pupil.

What we've built lately

See every release

The latest releases on the site. Your suggestions decide what comes next.

  • Lesson Rooms — a whole lesson in one link

    Line up games, practice and printables as steps, name the room, send one link. Nothing is stored — the room lives in the URL.

  • Dialogues: 20 role-plays for two voices

    A shop, a doctor, a birthday, a sleepover — kid-level English with a translation under every line, tap-to-hear audio and cut-out role cards.

  • A board game and an assessment sheet for every topic

    Every topic pack now prints its own roll-and-say board game and a can-do assessment sheet — two new printables in each of the 43 packs.

Who reads your message

AylaraTalks is made by Aylara, an ESL teacher. It grew out of her own lessons with young learners, and it is still built around what happens in real classrooms.

This community is brand new, so there's no crowd here yet. Every suggestion and lesson report goes to Aylara and is read. If something on the site saved you an evening, or wasted one, she'd love to hear about it.

Community guidelines

  • Be kind. Whatever you're writing about, there's a teacher on both ends.
  • Be practical: real lessons, real classes, things a teacher can use tomorrow.
  • No ads or promotion, please. Your own free idea for a lesson is always welcome.
  • Protect children: no pupils' names, photos with faces, or other personal details.
  • We read everything but can't build everything. What we choose to build shows up in What's new.
