Storytelling can help students learn English. Begin by telling the students a story. It can be any story, from a fairytale to a personal story. Instruct each student to repeat the story you have just told. Allowing the students to repeat the story will help them speak English and learn new words and phrases.
Before anyone can learn basic English phrases and words, they will have to learn the alphabet. Having English learners sing the alphabet will help them memorize the alphabet and learn the basics of the language. Show the students an alphabet chart and show them the way to sing the song, while pointing to each letter. Continue by instructing the students to sing the alphabet.
The Clothing Game is a simple way to help students speak English. Show students pictures of individuals wearing different outfits. The English Learner website (www.englishlearner.com) recommends that students form groups of three. The students are responsible for describing what the individuals are wearing, in each photograph. The students should try to describe the outfits using the English words they have learned.
The Money Game consists of asking students how they would spend a certain amount of money. Tell your students to pretend they had a certain amount of money. It is the students' responsibility to describe how they would spend the money, in detail.
