April is National Poetry Month in the United States! Poetry is a vehicle for cross-cultural learning and discussion, and it offers authentic means to practice a number of skills, including pronunciation and identifying thought groups. Use this lesson plan to teach your adult English language learners a way to concretely comprehend poetry.
Providing effective feedback can be difficult and time consuming, especially for English language learners, who depend heavily on teacher comments. Learn several ways to give personalized feedback to your students, which can help improve student-teacher rapport as well as increase student motivation.
