The use of OHP can be helpful with teacher starting out as you can use pre prepared transparencies, this also avoids having your back to the students and can be re used for other classes. The use of visual aid such as photos, pictures and objects, effective in reducing TTT, and to stimulate discussion, prompt and elicit language. Worksheets and cards that can be purchased or made to make them more specific to the students you are teaching, they can be used for role play, also for reading and grammar excercises.
