I am a TEFL student at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. I am in desperate need of TEFL respondents. Email me if the link isn't working. Thank you for any and all in advance who check out my survey. I think it's an important topic to explore as future educators...
Hello,
I was hoping someone could recommend a good basic level adult survival ESL textbook. I generally don't use a textbook in class, but I'm looking for a good resource that builds vocabulary and provides practical English topics. Thank you, Kim G.
I have a Masters Degree in Reading. I am now going for a Masters Degree in ESL. How likely will I be able to find a job?
Thank you,
Susan

Also...any help regarding this test would be appreciated. Thank you Aline
I am in my first year teaching ELL at a new district. I teach at 2 different schools. At each school, there is a student in kindergarten that is making very little progress. Each came to school with no apparent previous schooling and could not identify any letters or write their name. Both were born in the USA, but come from homes and neighborhoods...See MoreI am in my first year teaching ELL at a new district. I teach at 2 different schools. At each school, there is a student in kindergarten that is making very little progress. Each came to school with no apparent previous schooling and could not identify any letters or write their name. Both were born in the USA, but come from homes and neighborhoods that speak almost all Spanish. Now each still struggles quite a bit, though they can write their name, can say the alphabet in order, and count 1-10 in order. However, they know few colors, cannot identify many letters or numbers in isolation. Their speaking is pretty limited, though they can understand most verbal directions.
Now that it is January, should we be overly concerned that they can't name many of the letters and numbers 1-10 (out of order), know few letter sounds, and do not know all of the colors. Both classroom teachers are very concerned. I tell them to be patient and mention that it is not uncommon for kids like this to have an extended silent period, but I would expect more progress soon myself.
What would you recommend as good interventions at this point? At what point would you become concerned about the lack of progress shown, if not already? I would like to give the classroom teachers as many suggestions as possible. I work with these students a couple hours a week on basic vocabulary, numbers, and letters, but the are mainly with their classroom teachers during the day.
Thanks! Jon
