Hello there, fellow ESL teacher! I'm going to tell you about this amazing product, my No English Emergency ESL Newcomer Workbook. I usually don't do posts that are straight up salesy, BUT I do make some exceptions for resources that I truly believe will change your life by saving you hours of lesson planning. This resoure is made specifically for ESL students who are brand new to the country. They don't know enough English yet to be able to engage in their classes, so what do you do for activities?! Not to worry--this book is 60+ pages of carefully scaffolded tasks made just for Newcomers. Read on to learn more or click HERE to purchase on TPT.
This resource is a no prep, one-stop-shop of Newcomer ESL resources, packaged into one convenient workbook! Finally, a resource that is specifically made for MLs brand new to the country (grades 4-8) so that you, the ESL teacher, are no scrambling for worksheets and activities trying to catch them up to the rest of the class.
This workbook is truly a lifesaver! Save yourself HOURS of lesson prep and searching for Newcomer-friendly materials; this workbook has it all done for you!
