As one who was forced into the computer age "kicking and screaming," I am still amazed at the wealth of information available through groups like this. I will be leading a new teacher training in October and in this particular school district, there are lots of children who need ESL. I have worked with children in the past but the bulk of my work has been with adults. I have some questions and I'd appreciate any guidance any of you might give. 1. What materials/activities have you used with children (K-5) that you found to be particularly effective? Software? 2. Are there any online resources that focus on ESL for children? 3. What type of assessment instruments are commonly used with children? 4. Does anyone know of a good email penpal exchange? 5. What are some cultural issues that come into play with children and language acquisition? Thanks so much for any input you may have into any of these questions. Feel free to bring up any issues that relate to children and SLA that you feel are important. Rachel W. Tugon Louisville, Kentucky
