These signs, spotted in London, amused me enormously. Did somebody say, "BOO!"?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Blimey, that's a lot of "being alarmed" I wonder what at??
And do the signs disappear when you don't look at them (i.e. is it YOU that's making them alarmed!!)..
i too am alarmed!
Just as long as they weren't startled or frightened, it's ok.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could get "mood signs" for people like that? Instead of "This door is alarmed" I'd have a sign that says "This Guy is amused"
*This Girl is Amused*
I saw quite a few hiccups in Taiwanese English signs, and I took a few photos of the funnier ones.
Pity I had to lose my camera there.
It has taken me a few moments to see what you were getting at.... we are so used to such signs! A bit like the "Way out" signs indicate the exit and I don't read them as making a statement of coolness.
AHAHAHAHA!! Good one, mate! :-D
