In what area are you providing support?  I'm assuming ESL?  From there, we need a little bit more information about their langauge level.  What benchmarks do you use to determine their level and according to those benchmarks where are the students?\n\nBefore you teach them, you might want to brush up on your own punctuation.  "Idea's" = "Idea is".  "Ones" = "several of the number one".  It concerns me that your own poor language skills might rub off on these young, impressionable students.\n\nYou can always find extra materials based around what they're doing in their other classes.  If they're studying plants in Science, get them to design a crosswork puzzle about plants, writing the clues themselves.  See if you can find some relevant newspaper articles about current events that interest/affect students.  My students from Eastern Europe are usually excellent at speaking and listening, but show poor writing skills.  Peer editing is great for this.  Give them a question or writing prompt and have them write for ten or fifteen minutes.  Then they can swap papers and correct one another's work.  After you can discuss the changes that they made and why.  If you're looking for worksheets (which should be a last resort) try some of the links below (which require registration).  Don't throw a grammar worksheet on them if their program of study is structured around themes.  It's too insulting.

read magazines and books in english, with a dictionary close to you. converse with a friend who knows the language. relax and don't be afraid that you'll make a mistake and be open to corrections. or you can also rent english movies (even sesame street- this show helped me with my english during my younger years. still works for my nephews!)

As a former teacher trainer in Asia,\n\nGotta set up a routine for you lesson. Let's say you have young ones, start with a song/chant, and then into your "grammar/language" lesson (the crappy books they give you to follow). Seatwork (appropriate for the level). Then end it off with a story. You can ask simple questions for the story, "Find something red. What page was the boy eating the ice cream?" Always good to add a few language games into your lesson. One simple game is for two students with swatters to hit the correct vocab card. Plain, but better than repeating the words. You can make up a whole bunch of language games. Try bingo, but with pics of vocab. Play Simon Says.\n\nI find when I was teachign ESL, my greatest problem and my teachers' greatest problem was the lack of resources. Here is a site: http://www.readinga-z.com/\n\nBuy a $50 yearly member ship and download the books. Get your school to pay for you. This will provide you with 100s of reading activities for ALL levels!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i

Go to your local library, tell them you are interested in taking E.S.L. (English as a Second Language) classes. These are free, and are excellent, my mum teaches E.S.L. \nShe has helped literally hundreds learn to speak and read English. I think it's fantastic that you want to learn! Some people ( I won't say the race or country**coughmexico), live here for YEARS and refuse to learn it. Good for you!!!

We'd happily answer if we had any idea WTF you were talking about.\n\nSlow down, think about what ytou mean, and write in complete English sentences usnig normal grammar. Explain what information you actualy want. Try showing some courtesy to others by being considerate and taking the time to communicate.\n\nPosting the same menaingless gibberish 4 times is a waste of perfectly good electrons.
