Abstract

Learning to speak a new language is a difficult and interesting task. However, the responsibility of the individual teaching the second language is far greater. The teacher must cover all aspects of a language in order to give the second language learner all the information necessary to understand and speak the new language fluently. When the teacher is new to such a task, the process of finding new materials to incorporate into lesson plans can be very daunting. I spent the past semester researching and collecting materials in order to create a resource manual for future clinicians that are assigned English as a Second Language (ESL) clients in order to help ease their angst throughout the process.
