In this fun ongoing free talk class, beginner English learners will have a fully immersive experience practicing conversational English with a trained ESL teacher and their peers!  I have been teaching ESL for over two years and have learned several techniques to engage in conversation with students who speak zero to little English!  Total body response, pictures, realia and props are just some of the tools I use to teach new vocabulary words and phrases! Parents and students have described me as fun and patient, which is so important for these early level English learners! I speak slowly, and give many opportunities for practice!  We will also build off of the material we have learned each week giving additional room for scaffolding and extension!
Each week, we will explore a new fun topic where students will have the opportunity to learn new vocabulary words, practice their phonics, and practice using full sentences!  

Regular conversations with a trained ESL teacher will drastically improve your child's English speaking, reading, and writing skills!  These skills don't come overnight, and with regular practice, you will begin to see wonderful progress in your child's ability to understand and communicate in English!  I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
