What Do You Read that Makes Learning ESL Easier?
What Do You Read that Makes Learning ESL Easier? Tuesday July 7, 2009I have a friend, Neeraja, in India who inspired a chapter in my teen novel. I sent her a copy of the book when it was published, but she had a very difficult time reading popular fiction. This morning I read a blog written by Alicia Rudnicki, who teaches English as a Second Language to high school students. She said they’re crazy about Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series. Even the boys are interested in checking it out. Mostly to discover Edward’s secrets, I imagine. This begs the question, why is popular fiction helpful for some ESL students and not others? What could Neeraja read that would help her improve her English? What do you read that makes it easier to learn English? Talk to us. Help with ESL: •
