How are my fellow ESL teachers and students doing during this time? Do your students have work to do at home?

How is eveeveryone dealing with the inflation of food prices?? Everyday living??

I gave notice on Monday at my current firm, and Partner says he wants to discuss my move further (probably to try to keep me at the firm). I already accepted new firm’s offer but Partner still hasn’t discussed anything with me and at this point I need to start discussing with the other Partners about my transition. Should I pressure the Partner that wants to discuss my move further and let him know I’d like to start the transition process or should I wait for him to reach out? TIA

Anyone know anything about The Lewin Group? Was contacted by a recruiter there

My boss shamed me publicly in an email sent to the entire office. I am a marketing director and have handled multiple important campaigns, but I got sick and he called me "weak" and told my coworkers that they should avoid being like me. Huh.

I did not join Deloitte a few months back after getting an offer.

Will they blacklist me in their system for any other opportunities in future? (i.e. - is it possible in their system?)

Did not join because HR was so unresponsive during the discussion phase that I completely lost interest and joined elsewhere instead. Though I did email them 2 weeks in advance that due to so much of non-response, I am not interested anymore.

what's your clothing budget for the year? + how often do you buy new shoes? I marvel at some of the price tags I see in this bowl...is that typical?

Trying to get my ppp loan forgiven. I’m a sole proprietor, and the loan servicer I’m using says I need proof that I maintained my employee’s salaries. How do I do that when I am my only employee?

For anyone in NJ did you have to take an OPI and a WPT test for an ESL CEAS? I’m transferring over from NY and it was on the required documents list. I’m a native English speaker and I went to grad school in the us

Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but how do you handle teaching a student in an EOC course who does not speak any English? I feel like it is cruel to have them take an EOC in English.

I had a student tell me that he was learning more English by playing a Clue-like game called, Among Us. He asked if I could host a game for the class. The next day, during a workshop, the speaker brought it up as well. I checked it out and it looks promising and would certainly hook the students. Has anyone tried this?

When my students look up a word they don't know, they almost always pick the wrong definition or just pick the first one. How can I teach them how to pick the right meaning?

Who got their ACCESS scores back? Higher, lower, pleasantly surprised? I'm surprised that they did much better in speaking, but we have been very focused on it!

How many students do you have to pull out at one time? What do you think is an optimal number? I think 5-8 is perfect.

I’m trying to write a grant for iPads for my DL class - what apps do you use/ have used that would be useful for that specific group? We especially need to focus on language development across content

Any Apps or websites that work for Spanish Speaking students with no English experience. I have used Duolingo, but I know there must be others out there!

Looking for advice....I work in a school with very low ESL population and those that are ELL are English speakers. I have had a couple newcomers over the years, but mostly in the lower grades. Just got my first and only 5th grade, non-English speaker. Would love some ideas on how to best server her. I am one teacher and currently only here 4 days a week. I have 35 other students.

Help! I have one beginner ESL student. He's in 9th grade and he's really falling behind. He reads at probably a 1st or 2nd grade reading level. What can I give him to improve his literacy w/o being too babyish or demeaning?

Hi! I'm working on my annual goals. Has another done theirs and adjusted them to reflect the pandemic? How so? I asked in a couple of fora with Gen Ed teachers and they all mentioned Family Engagement and differentiation but that's already the bread and butter of what I do!

What else can I do with a masters degree in ESL? I taught at 3 different schools in 3 years. The first two I resigned because they weren’t a good fit and this year I was non renewed despite my performance improving. I honestly don’t think teaching is for me

So, I have 1 class of SLIFE students (Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Ed). What are some good life skills to teach them to help them adapt? A lot of them will be able to work soon.

We're a small division and need some help testing. Do you think it would be a conflict of interest to have an ESL teacher proctor the ACCESS if their child was one of the students?

Chewing on the thought of going back to school for my doctorate degree. I would like to have an ESOL concentration but not all colleges offer it.Also, Educational Doctorate or PhD? How long would it take me? I would love to hear any advice and opinions from others who have done this!

How are your ELs and their parents handling this crisis? I wish I could give them more support.

Is it worth it to teach ESL students terms like nouns and verbs when they need to learn to speak for communication and just gain vocabulary?
