Pictures are one of the most used tools because most children know, for example, what a dog, flower or a car looks like. Drawings or photographs can help students associate those objects with the English word, no matter what their native language is.
Repetition and demonstrations are also among ESL teachers' primary teaching tools.
Many ESL programs will also use computer software to help students learn English. The Rosetta Stone series is a perfect example because students can progress through the lessons as they learn.
Each ESL program will have different teaching methods and tools at their disposal. They will also have different standards for a student's evaluation as they progress. The goal for all of them is to help students learn English as quickly as possible so they can join their peers in a regular classroom.
