  • What do you do with an ESL student who cannot read or write in any language?

    It is extremely difficult to instruct students who lack literacy abilities. This is sometimes attributed to a lack of education in the native nation. There are strategies for assisting kids who have little or no literacy in their home language or English. Here are some tips:  Modified scheduling  Condensed remedial courses that can catch students up to their grade levels  Thematically organized curriculum. Fewer topics, more time  Team teaching  Providing training in ESL techniques for mainstream teachers  Collaboration of ESL and mainstream teachers, common planning and discussion, ongoing communication via e-mail about weekly language and content development planning Newcomer programs within a school aimed at building academic foundation for students with interrupted formal education: access to literacy development, English acquisition and core curriculum  Explicitly teaching SIFE students studying skills  Extended-day opportunities  After school tutorials and programs

  • "extinguishes lungs" or deflates lungs when we talk about phosphorus bombs harmful effect on lungs?
    Best answer

    Hi Utku, so when we are chatting about the impact of phosphorus bombs on the lungs, we'd typically say it "burns" or "inflames" the lungs rather than using terms like "extinguishes" or "deflates". Those words sound a bit too technical for a casual conversation. Phosphorus bombs are nasty, and they can cause serious damage by burning or irritating the lungs. It's like they pick a fight with your respiratory system, and nobody wants that. Stay safe, alright? :)

  • What makes you hard to learn or understand "BAHASA" or Indonesian language? Feel free to share.
    Best answer

    Mostly because we need real-life native friends, the lack of daily chit-chat with Indonesian pals makes it a tad challenging. Imagine trying to learn slang without having anyone to chat with - not impossible, just a bit lonely in the linguistic journey. :)
