Hey Guys,
Tomorrow is my first day teaching. I'm going to be teaching high school students, but the school hasn't given me any books, or what i will be doing for the 1st day, or week for that matter.
I was thinking about doing a reading lesson as they are fairly easy, and little materials are needed.

What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.
For students who can read English, but who struggle to understand native speakers, the “Learn English by Radio” series is very helpful. It has variable speed audio, which is super useful, and synched transcripts with lots of links to idiom, vocab, grammar, and pronunciation clarifications.

Hi, My state is using ACCESS for the first time this year. What is striking me as particularly concerning is that students are given only 35 minutes to complete the reading test! Our previous ELL test, the MEPA, was untimed. So, I am really worried about students doing well enough under such time pressure.

What is striking me as particularly concerning is that students are given only 35 minutes to complete the reading test! Our previous ELL test, the MEPA, was untimed. So, I am really worried about students doing well enough under such time pressure. There are some students I really think should be exited from services and I hope this won't hold them back. Anyone here familiar with ACCESS? Should I be concerned about this? Also, regarding the 3-5 test, are 3rd graders scored the same as 5th graders?
Hi, If you have taken ESL MTEL, do you remember the oral questions? There are supposed to be three oral questions (and one reading). I appreciate if you could tell me your questions. Thanks Ava

This is my first time on this site, and I am looking for some help. I am currently living in Thailand, where I have been teaching English to 12-19 year-olds for the past two months. My students understand almost no written English and understand spoken English even less. I have been tasked with building my own curriculum and focusing on improving their conversation skills.
I am hoping to find some fun activities, develop games, and learn methods to introduce the English language to my students. It seems that most ESL resources that I have found assume the students already have a working vocabulary or basic knowledge of English. However, mine do not.
Do you have any suggestions for games, activities, lesson plans, or internet resources that I can find to assist in introducing English basics to my students? Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it!
