-
Your contributions must be
100% in English language.
-
Your contributions must be
your own creations. You can use free images from
cliparts or other free sources. You can also use images
that you have subscribed to and paid for.
-
You can īt publish any
document including pictures or contents taken from
iclipart.com, since it īs against their terms of use.
-
Worksheets containing
watermarked cliparts are not allowed and will be removed
from now on.
-
Please, don't use pictures
taken from other ESL websites or books, even if you add
your own exercises.
-
If you have a worksheet
that you didn't make yourself (borrowed from a colleague
teacher, for example) don't send it. It might be taken
from a website or book, and your account could be banned
on account of it.
-
You can use texts from
other websites or books in your worksheets if you add
your own exercises or activities (For example, reading
comprehension questions, etc). Please don't take texts
from other ESL websites or books, it would be unfair.
-
If your worksheet is just
a reading text, it will only be accepted if the text is
written by you.
-
It is acceptable to take a
text from other sources (not ESL websites or ESL books)
and add your own exercises or activities, but you are
not allowed to take an exercise from another source and
add more exercises of your own. All the exercises must
be yours.
-
You can use songs (traditional
or modern) but make sure that you add your own exercises
or activities. If your worksheet consists of just the
song with a beautiful decoration, it will be considered
a copy, since the content is not yours. Of course, if
you write your own song, it will be gladly accepted,
even if you don't add any exercises.
-
Worksheets consisting just
of lists (such as "Phrasal verbs list" or "Irregular
verbs list") are allowed, although they are not
recommended because everybody can find them in other
websites for free. Of course, they are not allowed if
you have copied them from another source.
-
You are not allowed to
send the same worksheet twice.
-
It is recommended to
include an answer key in your worksheets. The other
members will appreciate it.
-
There will be two special
categories: templates and
tutorials. No points will be
needed to download them (new users are the ones that
might need them most). The generous members who upload
contributions for these categories will get no points
from them.
-
You are allowed to use
templates from the "templates page" to make your own
contributions, but it is not allowed to use other
members' worksheet as templates.
-
If you want to send a
colour and a BW version of the same worksheet, they have
to be in the same document.
-
In the past, members were
permitted to send the colour and the BW versions in
different documents. Those worksheets will not be
removed, but members are no longer allowed to do so.
-
Single flashcards (a
document with a single picture) are not allowed. There
must be at least four flashcards in the same document
for it to be considered a flashcard set and be accepted.
In the past we had many flashcards uploaded separately,
and they will not be removed, but it is not allowed
anymore.
-
Your contributions must be
ESL resources. For example:
-
|
This
is
allowed because
it is an ESL task (read and
learn vocabulary) |
Single flashcards are
not
allowed, but you
can send a SET of flashcards
(at least 4 in the same
document). |
This
is allowed
because it is a speaking
activity (Bingo) |
This is
not
allowed because
it is not an ESL resource. |
This is
not
allowed because
it is just a frame, without
any activity in English. |
This is
not
allowed because
it is not an ESL activity (students
don't learn English trying
to find the path)
|
Cliparts and coloring pages
are
not allowed. |
This
is allowed
because it includes a
reading activity. |
