My friend (not a teacher by trade) is teaching an ESL class in Korea. Does anyone who teaches ESL have any advice or specific websites (please include URL if possible!) that she could read today to help her feel more prepared to start her class tomorrow? Here are a few facts:
* This is not bilingual education - it's an immersion class, and she does not speak Korean.
* She will be handed the curriculum tomorrow morning before the class starts, but does not have it in hand to prepare from ahead of time.
* Until she starts, she won't even know how much English the kids already know.
* Students will be upper-elementary/early middle school age.
Icebreakers & other first-day activities are especially helpful, but would love to see any suggestions for any creative and fun stuff.
She'll be great once she gets started, but she's nervous about what to do on the first day and how to fill the time after introductions.
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
