Paraphernalia of an Online Tutor

When you have a lemon, apple, fake rose, markers and a zucchini at your laptop, you may just be an online tutor!

Just because we are teaching online doesn't mean we can't still use realia, or props, to help with instruction. I have found it to be really effective to teach word meaning to my young ESL students.

It seems as if the students enjoy seeing what Miss Julia has in her house. Several will respond by running off and showing me what they have. It is so cute when they proudly display their object. I love it because it means they made a connection and have solid comprehension of that word!
