I am a new ELL teacher that has a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and will have 15 hispanics that speak a good deal of English and some that are a little limited. Any new technology ideas/websites to intergrate? I saw that the past ELL teacher used cassette tapes for the kids to listen too, but that is a little outdated it seems. She also used TPR, but I do not know how well that works with those types of students. Any ideas?
Sonia TPR is awesome, and very easy to do. I think it works best for the low fluency kids, that's my opinion anyway. Good luck!

Chan This is the 21st century: these days it's CDs (even this is old technology), computers, podcasts, etc.

As for TPR, keep in mind that it is a method that relies on physical activity - which can be a lot of fun for students, is a great way to change things up a bit, and is especially good for your kinesthetic learners.

Charlotte After 13 years as a homeroom teacher (elementary), I will be taking on my first ESL position this fall (3rd-5th grade). I am SOOOO excited, but a little nervous. What advice could you give me to be successful? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on working collaboratively with classroom teachers, etc. Thank you!
