I'm teaching ESL in Beijing, China. I have a 12 year old student who is quite well versed in English but whose conversational level is not very high. I want to work, using as a vehicle for reading and discussion, INTERESTING OR EXCITING books that appeal to the younger teen age kids. I love the old classics, e.g. Tom Sawyer, but the language is generally too difficult and too antiquated for ESL learners.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND titles of some great popular interest books that meet this need. Thanks, TZ

I'm an education major concentrating in middle grades language arts social studies. I really like my major and I know I want to work with kids, but the more I learn the more I think I want to go into a different field of education besides classroom teaching. I do not want to go into administration. I am willing to go to grad school, but could someone please help me out with what options are available to me? If someone knows of a good book or website or just their own experience I would love to hear it.

Ok i'm in a community college, i'm 19, so i'm an adult.

It's a group communications class, so we got into groups and we had to discuss something within 10 min. We finished in about 5. When we were done i opened up my cell phone (WHICH WAS ON VIBRATE) because I got a txt message. She saw me just open it for 5 seconds and i just needed to read it and she comes over and starts trying to tell me I need to have my cell phone turned off for class and that it's in the syllabys. I look it up and it says "to not distract others around you, please turn off all beepers and pagers." And what I was doing was distracting no one.

Also I was reading my notes in class while we were having a discussion because i needed to look up a word, she yells at me for not paying attention when I really was.

Also she says she penalizes your grade for being late, but doesn't say it on the syllabys. Isn't this contract infringment?

Is there anything I can do to go above her? She just snipes me, am I wrong here?

If you feel so strongly about your beliefs you should find another way to express yourself. Calling people names is childish. Grow up.

I have a group of three boys that can't seem to keep themselves quiet during class. I tried to split them up and they just worked harder to distract one another, distracting everyone else at the same time. I put them back together, and it seems to work do far, but I feel like they will cheat off of each other. They won't pay attention this way, either. I have a tiny room, so rearranging isn't really an option. It seems the further from each other I place them, the more of a problem they are. Any suggestions?

I already have a bachelor's degree in English but want to become an elementary teacher. I have two education programs to choose from.

The first is another bachelor's degree in elementary education. The second is a master's of arts in teaching (accelerated program), which is aimed specifically for people without education backgrounds who want to get certified to teach. I do not qualify for the alternative route to education programs.

Which would be more beneficial in the end?

I have just graduated from the university, got myself a job in a small school that conducts enrichment classes for small and big kids. Since I've been teaching one-to-one/small groups part-time privately for some 3 years, I thought I won't struggle so much. However, I realised that I am really quite a green horn in classroom teaching. It is different when you have to catch the attention of all 10 students in a class...I am worrying quite a lot now because classes are going to start in a week or so. Can I hear from some helpful souls regarding improvement of delivery skills in a classroom environment? Any tips for new teachers like myself?
