Note:  Because most adult ESL students in church ministries are beginners, the emphasis is on teaching that level. However, higher level teachers who have never attended the TECs* ESL Teacher Training, Engaging English Learners 101, will also benefit.  Many of the same techniques used for beginners are also appropriate for the higher levels.
