A panoply of teaching resources.
I had a good response from a list of websites for ESL students. You can see that list here.
So, I put together another list of 4 websites with lesson ideas that can help English students improve their writing, listening and reading skills.
I hope you find this list of 4 More Great ESL Sites useful and educational.
Can you write a business email? It’s an important job skill if your company has international customers. An email message – with no mistakes – says you are a pro. You are believable.
Learn the 10 rules for writing business emails. Learn from other people’s mistakes. Start writing like a business professional.
Some of my ESL students litter. Their writing. They throw wordy phrases into their sentences like used potato chip bags on the ground. The result? Dirty sentences.
Like litter on the street, there is just too much messy stuff. Students use three words when one word is good enough. I wonder why? Do students think more words are better? I hope the answer is no.
Here is my idea. Good writing is clean. It uses only the words you need to express an idea. No extra packaging. Great writing does not need fancy words. Great writing is a clear idea that is easy to understand. Want to stop littering your sentences? Read on.
One word can make a big difference in our attitude and emotions.
For example, some students don’t like the word “essay” because it seems like work. So, I used the word ‘letter’ instead or ‘essay.’ I asked my students to write a letter to describe their ‘bucket list.’ My students’ results were impressive (considering that they are exhausted from studying for grade 7 tests).
