Use English
Teachers should remember to use the “real world” in their class rooms. The more the students are exposed to the language as something useful, the more they will be interested in learning it. Studies show that when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it.
My point is to practice English with your student. I know many [Read on...]
Using Real World Materials
Save weather maps, reports, and temperature listings. Read over the material with the student. Ask the student questions such as: “If you live in Pittsburgh , should you wear a sweater today?” “Should you carry an umbrella in Kansas City?” “Will you go swimming in Minneapolis?”
Save greeting cards. Make up a scenario and have the student choose an appropriate card. [Read on...]

Make a separate sheet for each letter. As an alternative, ask the learner to find [Read on...]

It is important [Read on...]

• to record new vocabulary that might come up. If you stop to teach a new word, make a note to review it in your next lesson.
• when your student expressed a particular concern or interest. You can take a minute to offer a short-term solution and then build on the [Read on...]

11 Quick and Easy Reading Activities
Encourage purposeful reading:
Use margin symbols: start with an easy set (+-!) and add to it later-identify things students agree with, things they don’t understand, things that interest them, and things they want to remember (for starters).
Two versions of the same news story (different days or different sources), then compare and contrast.
Use universal charts (KWL, 5W’s, C/E, Pros/Cons, timeline) See http://teachers.teach-nology.com/web_tools/graphic_org/
