I assign each student a date, one or two a day. Then I give them all list of grammar rules, (they have a text so I can just assign a section that explains it, but you could photocopy from a grammar text or use websites like the Purdue OWL ESL section) Each student has to find a good example of the grammar rule used from any source and write it on a transparency. Then on their assigned day they read the short selection, usually one or two sentences, while the others write it down. Then they put their selection on the overhead for others to compare. Then I usually elaborate on the rule, and the whole thing takes 10 minutes, tops. It's a nice grammar review and they have to really practice the pronunciation to say it clearly enough for dictation. Low stress, and good grammar review. You can do this with rules of punctuation, capitalization, ad nauseum. Painless. I grade them on whether their example fits the rule as well as their preparedness and execution.

The course should be geared to helping students prepare speeches in addition to continuing to help them with their pronunciation issues. Although I'm well versed in the selection of pronunciation texts since that is what I usually teach I'm not aware of texts that would be appropriate for helping ESL students prepare speeches. Does anyone have any suggestions??? > > Sincerely > > Esther Perez Apple > Perez Apple & Company, Inc. > >
