InternationalTodd asked:


I only know one technique, to write on the board some information on the board, and ask “what question is for that information?”
This works, but has limits!
The students understand basic English, but need to practice their usage and pronunciation. With out the classroom participation, they do not have the practice!
I had great success teaching immigrants in the states, but that was one on one, or two or three at a time, 10-30 is different!

Jie asked:


I am a ESL 4 student now. I want to read more to improve my English. However, some of reading are too hard for me. They just make me bored and nothing more. Therefore, I wonder some novels (for documents download or books ) with a simple English for ESL learner.
Like a series of books : Penguin Reading.

Thank you everybody.
