8. Three Ways to Move Beyond the ESL Worksheet

It can be tempting to reach for worksheets as a quick way to find something to keep your ELL students busy. I’ve done it myself when I felt like I just needed to grab something quick that would save me time. We know that using worksheets and workbooks are not the best way for students to learn a language.

I’ll be sharing 3 ways to go beyond the worksheet that will have your ELL students interacting with the language right away. With an increase in Newcomer students across the country, we have an opportunity as teachers to make a positive difference in these students’ lives and make language learning fun and effective.
