English Language Learning with Super Support: Beginners - Book 1: A WORKBOOK For ESL / ESOL / EFL / ELL Students

Book Synopsis: ESL Workbook for Beginners. Here at last is a classroom-ready workbook for beginning ESL, ESOL, EFL, and ELL students. All lessons are NO-PREP to LOW-PREP activities that have been classroom-tested and honed to perfection with proven techniques developed by ESL teacher Chris Balli for over 20 years. The greatest impact this book will have is that zero-English or minimal-English speaking students will begin speaking immediately! Reading and writing will also be advanced.

These language activities were designed for immediate use in authentic, everyday situations, and this workbook excels to provide the necessary language needed for these everyday situations. Most life skills, such as driving, typing, and learning a new language, for example, are learned through constant practice and repetition. The lessons in this book were therefore constructed with this in mind - with ample repetition and practice in many varied drills and exercises. Each grammar and communication objective is practiced at great length in different formats with drills, role-playing, stories, interviews, conversations, and worksheets.

This particular feature, of multiple formats for the same skill, is what makes this workbook unique. Most texts or workbooks have only one or two lessons for each skill, forcing teachers to research other books or create additional supplemental material on their own. But these lessons, activities, and worksheets have more than ample practice for students to achieve mastery as the lessons build on each other and become more difficult in tiny, incremental steps.

The primary objective of this book is communication: speaking, reading, vocabulary, and writing, and these lessons deal with personal information that every student should know and be able to communicate. Consequently, this is the perfect material for use in class surveys, pair-reporting, and drills. Right from the start, students get a sample of the activities and written lessons that will be used throughout the book and gain an opportunity to practice speaking immediately. They will be practicing skills that are relevant and necessary and not just bland and random language drills.

This book is for any basic/beginning ESL, ESOL, EFL, and ELL students who are zero-English speakers or minimal-English speakers. Foreign students with complete education from their own countries do not always require the entire set of exercises provided. Lessons can be selected to target specific trouble spots or for additional practice and reinforcement. Students from war-torn countries, illiterate students, or students with gaps in their education benefit from doing the entire set of exercises in this book.

Teachers using this workbook will find the lessons in this book classroom-ready, easy to implement, and they can expect students to start speaking sooner than usual. They can expect vocabulary development for an improvement in reading. Teachers can also expect students to advance quickly in writing independently. This workbook is simple to use, easy to teach, and, best of all, it is proven after decades of practice in the classroom, to be effective. This book works!
