    Welcome back, Teachers. I am Millie and I am your host of the My Adventures in ESL podcast.

    1st Day of School Activities

    Hi, Teachers. Welcome back to My Adventures in ESL. On today’s show, I’m going to be sharing with you some first day of school activities that you can do with your language learners. Now, like on every episode, I want to share and celebrate some “wins”.  Before we do that, I would like for you to reflect on your “wins” for the week. What were some “wins” that you are proud of, some that you want to celebrate? Remember, it doesn’t have to be huge. You can be a small win. A win is a win and they start to add up. So if you want to celebrate your “wins”,…

    Hello, teachers, and welcome to today’s episode. Today, we are going to be talking about using mainstream curriculum for your language learners. Now, before we jump into today’s topic, I want you to think about a “win” that you had over the last week. I want you to share those “wins” and celebrate those “wins”.
