Learn English From Home - English Language Learners Supplement

If we have students who are in our schools English Language Program they are getting services to improve their English skills. Are their parents? Improving their language skills is a great way to improve their career opportunities. As teachers, it is not our responsibility to get them better jobs, but we can suggest programs, if they are interested.

I was recently introduced to an English Language Program that I think could be a supplement in a persons quest to learn English. If they are in the US, they may get plenty of face to face opportunities to practice their language skills, but not a lot of chances to learn new vocabulary, grammar rules and the like. Taking lessons on-line is a great way to gain these skills.

If you check out their English School, they have a placement test that will help you get placed in the right place in the program. You don't want to start from the beginning if you are already speaking and reading English, but you also don't want to be placed so advanced that you can't get along in the program.

They have two free English Lessons that you can try. I'm not an expert in language training, my training in SIOP lasted less than an hour, so I really have no background, but from the little bit of SIOP I received, I only saw a little bit of this powerful way of teaching, using props and expressions, in these lessons. It is really too bad, because otherwise it looks like a great program.
