Maiden Message

Dear All,
I'd like to provide you--ESL teachers, tutors, volunteers, etc--with links to helpful resources that you might use while working with adult ESL learners. These activities, while probably not the mainstay of your instruction, may serve as a helpful cache of tools to use when a student needs or wants more practice. Alternatively, they may serve the purpose of becoming handouts in class or homework assignments. Better yet, they might stimulate ideas of your own, or get you thinking of similar activities and challenges that you might be able to tailor to your teaching context. Whatever the way you find it most productive to use this blog, I hope to provide you with a toolbox of materials that are always at your fingertips to aid your ESL learners. Please feel free to comment with your own ideas of activities or challenges to add to the ESL learning environment. Also, feedback on how you adapted or implemented these activities would certainly help the rest of us. Support and enthusiasm for the activities found at these links, or suggestions related to how to enhance them is of course welcome as well. Hopefully anyone related to ESL teaching (and learning!) will free to chime in and help us all learn from each other!
