The ESL program is much bigger this year and instead of just me being the sole foreign teacher, two more of my colleagues are teaching. Many of the incoming 7th graders have such poor English, that the writing teachers came up with a list of grammar lessons they want the students to know by the time they reach their class in 9th grade.
My A classes will use reading excerpts from their magazines the school provides them (A+ English and ABC). My corresponding ppt is here. Its a fun opportunity for me to be more creative (grammar is no fun really) and teach the kids a bit of literature too. It's important to read stories to reinforce grammar.
Occasionally, I will begin a warm-up listening exercise using music. The following is our course outline. The larger font is what my class has completed.
