Teaching ESL Frequently Asked
Questions
1. I have difficulty understanding some of my ESL/EFL
students. What should I do?
If you do not understand a student, ask for clarification rather
than repetition. As you listen, note specific difficulties with
sounds or patterns and use these as areas of focus for further
lessons.
2. How should I correct ESL/EFL students' pronunciation?


The goal is not to eliminate accents, but to help students to
make themselves readily understood.
o Model clear speaking and use repetition.
o Demonstrate the mechanics of how each individual
sound is produced (placement of lips, tongue, teeth.)
o Clap or count syllables and stress.
o Model inflection. Even correctly pronounced words and
sentences can be misunderstood if the inflection is not

consistent with standard English.
o Consider pace. Encourage students to slow the pace of
their speech so that they will be more understandable.
o There are many useful pronunciation guides on the web,
such as English Club.
3. What is the best way to approach English grammar?
We recommend you address grammar using real-life, contentbased material such as the ESL newspapers, recorded
television programs, student writing, role-playing
conversations, etc. Have the students identify idioms or
grammar forms that are confusing to them, then use those
forms to model other examples and construct exercises. Limit
your focus to one or two points per session, give ample
opportunity for practice and review often. You can use this
Checklist t o monitor student's progress, and refer to this
online list of grammar points to focus on.
4. Some of my ESL/EFL students are obviously lost in
class, but I can't hold everybody up just for them what do I do?
Create a comfortable atmosphere for students to take the
initiative in asking for clarification.
o Leave time for questions and wait longer than usual for
responses to questions you ask.
o For each lesson make your aim, structure, main points
and transitions clear. Preview and Summarize.
o Let students know when something is very important.
o Take the last two minutes of class and ask students to
write what they learned and what they are still unsure
of, collect them and use their questions as a starting
point for the next class.
5. My ESL/EFL students need more opportunities to speak
English outside of class. How can I help?

Exposure and practice are the keys to learning a new
language. Encourage your students to set aside some family
time every day where only English is spoken, and to have
more contact with other English speakers, perhaps by
volunteering in the community – in their children’s schools, or
for community service agencies. Use your creativity to devise
tasks, role-plays, or field trips that require more English


practice.
