by w_bjork

Jan 6, 2011

Looking for practical advice. I have taught first grade in SoCal for 3 yrs. I was "forced" by my district to move to middle school (language arts) last year -6 different classes in 5 different rooms.

Dave rofessional teachers in a public school setting are mostly full time teachers. There are companies that offer ESL instruction but those are typically part time positions.

lbp I had never heard of a part-time teacher until I came to Minnesota. Here there are many, many part-time teachers. More and more often as school boards have had to cut the budget, they have eliminated parts of positions, meaning the teacher goes from a full-time teacher to .8 or .6. COmbine this with the new NCLB highly qualified requirements and th...See More

ESL/EFL using technology to help

by Danielle K

Jan 20, 2011

For instance, once I recommended a teacher to used a web tool called Quizelit that helps students to create electronic flash cards, add images to the card, play games and save them online,the teacher encouraged his students to use this web tool to create flash cards for the new vocabulary, the teacher was happy with the result he notice how the students' achievements increased and they become motivated toward learning English vocabulary.
