  • Don't be Afraid of Technology
    Whether it be using Google translate or using programs that help introduce culturally different English words technology can work wonders in an ESL classroom. The downfall comes when you allow yourself or your students to become dependent on it for communication. Try to steer clear of that.     
  • Use Multiple Modalities
    Include writing, speaking, drawing and listening in your lesson plans.
  • Teach Language Skills Along With Curriculum
    This helps children build a deep and intellectual understanding to the English words and apply them in all classroom settings.
  • Have High Expectations For All Students
    Don't water down content. Find a way for students to show what they know.
