What did you do yesterday ESL?
Yesterday was a day filled with various activities that I engaged in, and it was quite an eventful one. As an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, I often find myself incorporating different teaching methods and activities into my daily routine to make the learning process more engaging and interactive for my students. Let’s take a look at what I did yesterday.
Firstly, I started my day with a review session.
I began the day by conducting a review session with my intermediate-level students. We focused on the past simple tense, which is a crucial aspect of English grammar. To make the session more engaging, I used a variety of ESL activities, such as flashcards, group discussions, and role-playing exercises. The students were quite responsive, and they seemed to enjoy the interactive nature of the session.
Next, I introduced a new topic to my beginner-level class.
After the review session, I moved on to my beginner-level class. We were learning about basic greetings and introductions in English. To make the learning process more practical, I had the students pair up and practice introducing themselves to each other. This activity helped them not only to learn new vocabulary but also to improve their speaking skills.
Lunch break and a quick brainstorming session.
During the lunch break, I took some time to brainstorm new ESL activities and teaching strategies. I often find that taking a short break to reflect on my teaching methods helps me to come up with fresh ideas and make my lessons more effective.
Afternoon: A group project and individual assignments.
In the afternoon, I assigned a group project to my advanced-level students. They were tasked with creating a presentation on a topic of their choice, which would help them to practice their research, speaking, and presentation skills. Meanwhile, my intermediate-level students worked on individual assignments, focusing on writing a short story using the past simple tense.
Reflection and planning for tomorrow.
As the day came to an end, I took some time to reflect on the lessons and activities I had conducted. I noted down any areas where the students seemed to struggle and made a list of resources and materials I could use to address those issues. I also planned for the next day’s lessons, ensuring that I had a variety of activities to cater to different learning styles and levels.
In conclusion, what did I do yesterday as an ESL teacher? I engaged in a variety of activities aimed at enhancing my students’ language skills, from review sessions and group projects to individual assignments and brainstorming sessions. It was a productive and fulfilling day, and I look forward to continuing my journey as an ESL teacher, helping my students to achieve their language goals.
