A panoply of teaching resources.
In this pair work or small group discussion, students have two tasks: paraphrase the meaning of quotes and then debate the merits of the ideas. In this way, ESL students can improve their English communication skills through negotiated meaning and develop their listening and speaking skills as well.
This is the plan to help my ESL students learn and improve their English writing skills.
Intermediate English writing students can prepare for quiz 1 by reviewing and answering these questions.
The quiz will use some of the questions, not all of them. The questions on the quiz will be random so I suggest you study all of these questions.
Welcome to the writing class. It hope you enjoy this class and I hope your English writing skills will improve.
This week we have many things to do:
Here is the course syllabus: writing class syllabus.
This worksheet has one short paragraph. It describes a person’s experience on the subway. The writing gives the reader a good picture of the what we can hear, see and smell in a subway. Read the story. Look closely at the verbs the writer uses to help us understand the place. It is a good example of an old writing rule: don’t tell me about the subway, show me the subway with words. BTW, what are the five human senses?
Now it’s your turn to write. You will write a one paragraph story.
Good luck.
