Welcome!

WELCOME!

With the changing demographics in the United States, our role as ESL teachers is constantly changing and growing. This blog is meant to provide other high school ESL teachers with ideas and suggestions for teaching our students, particularly about how to integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening into our lessons. This is a place to share experiences and find new resources for your classroom, so please share what you have found useful from this site or from your own experiences in the secondary setting. This will help ESL teachers new and old to keep up-to-date on activities, methodologies, and issues in this field.

Thank you and enjoy!

Breaking News English

I found this site on Enid's blog.  I really liked the website because it provides short news articles about real topics and then has students use reading, writing, listening, and possibly speaking skills to learn about the topic.  Most of the articles could be used in a high school setting.  I like the idea of incorporating news into the classroom, and these articles seem relatively straightforward and easy to follow.  The website provides hand-outs and worksheets for each news article, which is a great aid for the teacher and students.  The lay-out of this website is not the most appealing or easy to follow, but I think the content is worthwhile.

You can find this site in my Resources list or you can click here
