A flannel board
(a board covered with flannel or other soft fabric for sticking 
pictures on its surface). It is used for creating vivid situations which would 
stimulate pupils' oral language; the teacher can have a flannel board made in a 
workshop or by one in a specialized shop; the use of a flannel board with cut-
outs prepared by the teacher or by the pupils leads t active participation in the 
use of the target language as each pupil makes his/her own contribution to 
working out "a scene" on the flannel board; 
A magnet board
(a board which has the properties of a magnet, i.e., can 
attract special cards with letters, words, phrases, or pictures on it) used with the 
same purpose as a flannel board.

the tape-recorder
has come to be an invaluable aid to 
the language learner and teacher, and after the 
blackboard, is probably one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in 
the classroom The tape-recorder allows the pupil to play back the tape listening 
to the speaker's voice and recording his own on the second tack (twin-track). 
The tape-recorder is considered to be the most important aid in learning a 
foreign language. The tape-recorder can obviously be used for all the listening

activities. Listening is a skill which requires a great deal of concentration so it is 
a good idea to limit the time spent on continuous listening. A very motivating 
activity for students is to let them write and record dialogues. You could also 
record students' telling a story. 
Positioning the tape-recorder is also an important matter. Try to use a speaker 
which directs the sound at the students; after all, you're not teaching the ceiling. 
Some criteria for choosing tuned material should be taken into consideration 
(see "A Training Course for TEFL" by Peter Hubbard).
