I'm very sad to admit most em won't be going to college because they can't enough points on the English Section. <br /><br />About 1/5th of the freshman are much lower than the rest. They cannot read, write, speak, or understand English. I need to talk to my department about them but, it seems like they've got no hope unless they do some serious studying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-15462809909322806842009-09-12T03:35:15.235-07:002009-09-12T03:35:15.235-07:00Robyn--that is very very SHINY!

That being said I think it could work for the levels you describe. Only bugger is when the students reach high school age and haven't mastered the basics of English getting them to behave and pay attention is a challenge.<br /><br />The other book I'd try is Oxford's Speaking Activities. You just have to spice it up and modify it a bit so the guys aren't bored.<br /><br />The only thing I can suggest is don't try to do developmental, building up on each previous lesson type curriculum over the semester. I'd make self-contained lessons that don't rely upon previous knowledge because the school schedules usually destroy that type of curriculum with our classes being cancelled for tests, and other stuff.<br /><br />The only other thing I can suggest is that your first lesson priority should be that it's fun, exciting, and engaging for the students, and that during the class as long as the students are happy and using/speaking SOME English, and they learn ONE thing (regardless of how simple or small) that that makes for a successful class. <br /><br />Good luck.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403839433187045342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-85336100605125239592009-09-10T17:01:28.508-07:002009-09-10T17:01:28.508-07:00Thanks for the book list.

They range from Mid level Middle school all the way down to Kindergarten. And none of em have a firm understanding of the basics. They don't know what nouns, adjectives, or verbs are. Either by writing it down or speaking them.<br /><br />I'm having an extremely difficult time coming up with lesson plans. Because most of the games and activities that are appropriate for their level are not appropriate for their age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-3766269595258281302009-09-06T22:17:22.055-07:002009-09-06T22:17:22.055-07:00Hi,

I don't know why it's not a big seller, but maybe after more people check it out they'll stock it more. I'd check Kyobo for it first, but am not sure that it's there.<br /><br />Good luck.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403839433187045342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-4403962798767123352009-09-06T11:06:20.722-07:002009-09-06T11:06:20.722-07:00Where can we get these books?Where can we get these books?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357026555577605135.post-72344389467431704422009-09-06T00:38:22.827-07:002009-09-06T00:38:22.827-07:00Thanks for posting all these books Jason.
