I think the most effective approach to learning language would have to be ESL (English as a second language). This is because all the students who are learning English are placed in a classroom together and at the same level. They would be staying together, working at the same pace through the course. They would have the support of not only their teachers, but also each other. This way is also good because they will feel confident speaking English once they are done with the course and are put in the classroom with native English speaking students.

  1. ESL is a very important aspect of learning a new language in schools. I wonder if being in an ESL classroom as a resource class and then in the regular classroom the rest of the day might work. They get the guided practice and grammer rules in one and can practice this in the regular classroom.
