<DIV>Marie,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did this list years ago based on literally decades in and out of the
U.S.A. teaching, training teachers, supervising, coordinating, etc. in
ESL. It is based on what seems to work or not work. I'm proud to say that I'm
back in the ESL trenches after, among other things, twenty years with the
Defense Language Institute English Language Center. I've been teaching
immigrants part time for the last eight years for the Adult Education Department
at Austin Community College. Getting back in the trenches has reminded me of
what language teaching is all about. I feel sorry for anybody who has to work at
a higher level, because that's really not as much fun! I truly hope that I
apply everything on my list daily and don't fall into any of the "easy traps." I
have distributed this list over the years to anybody who seemed interested and
it is published on my website at <A
href="http://www.tedklein-esl.com/ESL/20questions.html">http://www.tedklein-esl.com/ESL/20questions.html</A>
Feel absolutely free to use it in any way that will make life easier
for students. Thank you very much for the input. Questions are welcome.
