A couple years ago, my student teacher wrote me a really sweet card about how much she enjoyed and learned in my class. Now, I reread this lovely message whenever my online instruction falls short, so, uh, several times a week. #eslteacher #myhomeclassroom #teacherlife #eslclassroom #eslteachersofinstagram #teachergram #teacherlife #distancelearning (well, I hope there’s some learning...) #onlineclasses #distanceschool https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdjkbalRJv/?igshid=9zf4pew2jsiu

Adding “Friends” to my ESL classes has been so fun. I love watching students’ reactions, and prepping for class means rewatching the show to choose episodes and plan activities. (Sure, not every joke holds up after 20+ years, but there’s still a lot to enjoy.) #latergram #teachersofinstagram #eslteacher #myclassroom #teachersfollowteachers #teacherlife #teacherlife🍎 #eslclassroom #eslteachersofinstagram #teachergram #instateacher #teacherlife📚 #instateachers #eslclassroom #friends https://www.instagram.com/p/B5l4RpXFqg7/?igshid=1ddgqxvox8z9a

Back to school! Looking forward to teaching my level 3 ESOL class again, not looking forward to the 10,000 meetings in my future. I just got Simon’s speaking book for my classroom extra this year. I think I still have some of these topics in his draft form tucked into my lesson binders. 📚🍎✏️ teachersofinstagram #eslteacher #myclassroom #teachersfollowteachers #teacherlife🍎 #eslclassroom #eslteachersofinstagram #teachergram #instateacher #teacherlife📚 #instateachers #eslclassroom #esolteacher https://www.instagram.com/p/ChbEySbj19X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favorite class activities is practicing grammar and listening with Friends episodes. Everything that makes sitcoms kinda goofy to watch (so much eavesdropping, extreme reactions, silly misunderstandings, one friend recapping the last week’s plot to another friend, etc) makes these episodes so good for ESOL listening. Next week is quantifiers with Ross’ mean list about Rachel. #friendstvshow #esol #eslclassroom #eslteachersofinstagram #teachergram #instateacher #esl #esolteacher #learningwithFriends #esollesson https://www.instagram.com/p/CduIEX2j4QO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
