Tips and links to help you in your lesson planning.

Tips for Tutors

  • Use the Internet when planning lessons. When you find an interesting site, explore any links it offers. about.com has good lessons: go to about.com, look at the list on the left side. Click ‘education’, then click ‘English as a Second Language’ on the next list and start exploring.
  • Google ‘How to use the Internet in ESL’ (without quotation marks) and explore those sites.
  • When you teach the same thing every way you can think of, and the learner still doesn’t get it, STOP and teach them something else for awhile.
  • Go back to the “I speak English” textbook and handouts once in a while. Browse! There’s good stuff in there and you couldn’t possibly learn it all the first (or second) time.
