You might be able to adapt some of the activities from here: http://www.eslprintables.com/teaching_resources/other_worksheets/Strategies_for_supporting_esl__640504/#thetop
Basically, advise your staff to use DARTS (direct activities linked to task) - match up/jumbled up words and sentences/cloze/sequencing/true or false/labelling/barrier games e.g. Splat! ...Things which allow them to practise and manipulate the words before they actually have to produce language.
One interesting way to introduce a new word is in the form of a diagram. The new word is in a box in the middle - then going round it are boxes for: where you see it/ draw it/design a symbol for it/a synonym/ an antonym/finally - use it in a sentence.
Hope this helps! |
