“Chinese to English ESL Newcomer Activities: 75 of the Most Commonly Spoken Words in English - Vocabulary” -
By now you know that dual language resources are essential to support ESL students and adult ESL learners. “Chinese to English ESL Newcomer Activities: 75 Most Commonly Spoken Words in English” builds vocabulary greatly improving the English speaking and reading skills in Chinese ESL newcomers. This ESL newcomers activities resource contains 75 of the most commonly spoken English vocabulary words - essential for students of all ages and ESL adults.
Directions for using this resource:
1.First, give each ESL Chinese speaker a copy of the commonly spoken vocabulary lists. Then have each student identify vocabulary words they already know in English by highlighting or putting a checkmark next to those words. Find out how many of the words each student already knows in English. Do some students know all the words? Do some know only a few?
Now you can identify which students are absolute ESL beginners versus those who already have some knowledge of the English language. Plan your ESL newcomer activities and small groups based on this knowledge.
2.Play a listening game. Give your ESL Chinese speakers a copy of the commonly used English vocabulary list. In random order, say an English word from the list. Students scan the list and circle the word.
3.Play a speaking game. Using a round robin method, have each student pick a vocabulary word from the list and verbally use it in a sentence to the best of their ability.
For example, a beginner might say, “You the teacher” whereas an advanced student who selects the same word might say “You are the teacher.” Try not to focus on issues of non-standard speaking. In other words, don’t correct the beginner with “You are the teacher.” At this time it’s more important to get the students to “speak.” Correcting verbal errors too soon often causes students to stay in the silent period longer.
4.Use for spelling test. As your Chinese speakers learn commonly spoken vocabulary words, they should also learn how to spell them. Keep the spelling tests short. Five words for beginners and no more than 10 words for intermediate/advanced.
