ESL Teaching Resources
An extensive collection of English as a Second Language teaching resources. For students who speak a language or dialect other than Standard American English, access to language and literacy development is especially important. ESL students learn English at the same time as they are learning the content of each learning area through English. It is important to acknowledge and value all students' home language, prior knowledge and experiences of these students, and to build on these in developing the students’ literacy capabilities in the curriculum. This collection has not only posters and visual displays to use in your classroom, but also a large range of texts with associated content that encompass ESL in the classroom.
