English strategies for Elementary teachers

Two review sessions yesterday and today for teachers of English (basically TESL or TEFL) These people attended three days last year and asked for experience sharing. I am seeing the evolution in their thinking and attitude. They have a very tough job becaise of class size and lack of resources so we are showing strategies that do not need special equipment. It's also good for them to know that other places in the world contend with the problem of children whose home langauge is not the language of instruction. One more review tomorrow and then three day sessions with new groups.
We also give out contracts to new job training students tomorrow. Eleven drivers, 3 (women) in motor mechanics, a couple of tailors and a carpenter.
Pictures to come
