ESL: Movies in the ESL Classroom
I just ran across an ESL site with an interesting idea. Many students enjoy movies, and it is easy enough to bring movies into the classroom. The following site has a lesson plan on watching movies made for ESL students. Check it out! http://bogglesworld.com/adultesl1.htm I also like the Problems/Solutions exercise, as well as the Changes in the Past 50 Years, which are accessed off the same page.
