ESL ANSWERS That WORK!

Dr. Charles “Skip” Herbert. Are you testing and then teaching your ESL students most efficiently? Listen to Dr.Herbert the developer of the Basic Inventory of Natural Language (BINL). He can test in 42 different languages. Beside testing their proficiency in their parents‘ language AND in English, he has made the specific follow up exercises in workbooks to help you teach them English. His tests and books have been used throughout the country. With Dr.Rose (THE COMPLETE TEACHER, Amazon,2009) they will also be discussing “Think Globally, Learn Locally,” an article from the April/May issue of George Lucas’ magazine, Edutopia. A number of successful programs for teaching different languages will be shared. Dr.Herbert also has his own bookstore. His knowledge of education and books is encyclopedic, but most importantly his numerous anecdotes are humorous and fun. They’ve known each other for forty years and feed on each other’s remarks. They will change what you believed possible about teaching bilingual students.
