whale shark asked:

At my school we teach an “activity class” or english corner where we have to play games or do activities with adult learners of all levels, mostly beginners (which makes it more difficult).

I’ve been to all the ESL websites and used those ideas, but we do this twice a day and we’re running a bit thin. Any suggestions?

im an ESL, and i started to speak English 2 years ago, and now i have to apply to college. i worked very hard at school, so my grades are good, including english, my english score is going up every semester, now it’s A, but my SAT (english) score is not high at all. and i know a lot of colleges had posted their min score for SAT, and i couldn’t reach that high. will it matter a lot? also, im like all the other students who are working very hard in school and also join a lot of activities outside of school. will the colleges reduce english requirement for ESLs?

I have to design classroom activities for my ESL students in Catano, Puerto Rico, and I would like to know if you guys know some good English language activities/competitions to improve my students’ ESL skills. I always try the traditional spelling bee, dictionary contest, poster drawing, essay writing, etc. So, I was just wondering if I could get something else that is still fun and challenging. Thank you very much in advance.

Robert U asked:

This will be my 1st year teaching and I’ll be teaching a kindergarten self-contained ESL class. The first 2 days of school are half-days and I needed an idea of something to do with them that perhaps gets them acquainted. Any ideas??? (They are ELLs and most probably won’t know much ENglish, if any).

Don Quijote de la Mancha asked:

Unfortunately, I cannot find lesson plans for one or two student classrooms for ESL instruction. It is going to be used in a middle school classroom. I need about 20-25 minutes worth of activities to use during the class period.

Also, I’m looking for a low intermediate lesson plan that is designed for a one or two student classroom for an elementary classroom, which will be used for about 25-30 minutes.

Thank you for your help. I really need it!
These lesson plans will be primarily used for reading or writing activities.
