Classroom suggestions

Here are some of the very good suggestions and comments I’ve received recently from you about how to make our classes better:

Be sure the students understand the parts of speech and the functions of those parts within a sentence.

Money is an important aspect of American life. Be sure the students at the Basic English 2 level understand money and how to write checks and read bills. We will be trying to find materials that will cover these topics.

Dictation is a good way to strengthen listening skills. After giving a number of sentences of dictation to the students, have them turn those statements into questions (or make them negative) for further practice with word order in questions and negatives.
