Hello there, fellow ESL teacher! I'm going to tell you about this amazing product, my No English Emergency ESL Newcomer Workbook.

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?!
