TEACHING
STRATEGIES FOR ESL
INSTRUCTORS
Ronald Rodriguez
Introduction
 Drawing on experience as a teacher and administrator
in school districts in Virginia, Ronald Rodriguez serves
as an educational consultant with Sustaining
Academic Improvements, LLC. In this capacity,
Ronald Rodriguez works closely with nonnative
English speakers, helping them improve their
language and communication skills.
When it comes to teaching English as a second
language (ESL), teaching strategies often vary
considerably from traditional classroom education. At
the most basic level, ESL education should involve
hands-on learning exercises and creative activities,
where students can explore the English language and
integrate lessons in their own ways.
ESL
 Instructors should also take care to accommodate
the needs of all students, whose English skills can
vary widely.
Because students already have command of a
language other than English, ESL instructors often
use visual lessons to create new connections
between ideas and words. With enough repetition,
students can solidify these new associations and
begin integrating them into an English-language
schematic. Teachers may also consider
incorporating oral and physical response activities
to help students retain new vocabulary.
