Teaching ESL Frequently Asked Questions

  1. I have difficulty understanding some of my ESL/EFL students. What should I do?
    If you do not understand a student, ask for clarification rather than repetition. As you listen, note specific difficulties with sounds or patterns and use these as areas of focus for further lessons.
  2. How should I correct ESL/EFL students' pronunciation?
    The goal is not to eliminate accents, but to help students to make themselves readily understood.
    • Model clear speaking and use repetition.
    • Demonstrate the mechanics of how each individual sound is produced (placement of lips, tongue, teeth.)
    • Clap or count syllables and stress.
    • Model inflection. Even correctly pronounced words and sentences can be misunderstood if the inflection is not consistent with standard English.
    • Consider pace. Encourage students to slow the pace of their speech so that they will be more understandable.
    • There are many useful pronunciation guides on the web, such as English Club.
  3. What is the best way to approach English grammar?
    We recommend you address grammar using real-life, content-based material such as the ESL newspapers, recorded television programs, student writing, role-playing conversations, etc. Have the students identify idioms or grammar forms that are confusing to them, then use those forms to model other examples and construct exercises. Limit your focus to one or two points per session, give ample opportunity for practice and review often. You can use this Checklist t o monitor student's progress, and refer to this online list of grammar points to focus on.
  4. Some of my ESL/EFL students are obviously lost in class, but I can't hold everybody up just for them - what do I do?
    Create a comfortable atmosphere for students to take the initiative in asking for clarification.
    • Leave time for questions and wait longer than usual for responses to questions you ask.
    • For each lesson make your aim, structure, main points and transitions clear. Preview and Summarize.
    • Let students know when something is very important.
    • Take the last two minutes of class and ask students to write what they learned and what they are still unsure of, collect them and use their questions as a starting point for the next class.
  5. My ESL/EFL students need more opportunities to speak English outside of class. How can I help?
    Exposure and practice are the keys to learning a new language. Encourage your students to set aside some family time every day where only English is spoken, and to have more contact with other English speakers, perhaps by volunteering in the community – in their children’s schools, or for community service agencies. Use your creativity to devise tasks, role-plays, or field trips that require more English practice.
