BusyTeacher vs Myatt & Co

BusyTeacher provides printable teaching materials and articles for ESL and EFL teachers, along with a library of digital e-books. Its homepage lists 18,421 free printable worksheets and lesson plans, with no registration required. Worksheets cover grammar, vocabulary, speaking, reading, listening, writing, and pronunciation, and the site has tools for making word searches, word or sentence scrambles, and double puzzles. The resource formats also include flashcards, posters, and puzzle activities, with material for young learners, teenagers, and adults. The 80-book library covers subjects such as grammar, speech, business English, classroom management, age groups, and proficiency levels. The e-books arrive as PDF files through an email download link and can be viewed on computers, smartphones, or tablets; they can also be printed, but paper copies are not provided. The entire library costs $80, paid once. An individual e-book license allows use with the buyer’s own students or classes, but prohibits sharing with other teachers or colleagues. The store says digital purchases are not refundable.
