Reflection #6

Recently for one of my ESL classes I had to do a curriculum review. It is very common for ESL curriculum to include an audio recording with the content so that while students are reading the dialogue in their book, they are also hearing it between two native English speakers. This helps their listening skills as well as their comprehension skills. I think this is one way to diversify the curriculum because usually teachers would just have students themselves read the dialogue. But in having someone else read it and they can listen to it, not only does it take some of the pressure off of them as language learners they are also able to hear correct pronunciation. I would definitely use this in my classroom. A fun variation would be to make my own records possibly with their other teachers so they could hear people they recognized.
