Teacher tips If you have any tips about using the ARB website or resources and would like to share them, please feel free to email David Johnson. Tips for searching When searching on a single keyword, double-click on the keyword in the available keyword list, and it will automatically begin searching. Use a free-text search to find topics or contexts (especially in English). You don't need to to use all the classifications on the search page.  Try strand, level, and keyword. Tips for using ARB resources Save paper by using OHT, or a data projector to show introductory pages of some ARB resources, or laminate resources to use again. You can set up self-assessed teaching stations with the resources and the answers. Tips for accessing the ARB resources If you find that opening Word documents within Internet Explorer is slow especially when going back to the webpage that provided the link to the Word document, then try the following: Hold down the 'Shift' key when you click on the 'MS Word' link in a resource. This opens the MS Word document in a new browser which means that you can simply close that browser when finished. Close down MS Word (the program) if it is open.
