Do you teach ESL in your community or your mission field? Perhaps you want to reach out to English learners through your local church. There are many resources online that will help you set up your program, but once you have a room full of learners, what do you do with them? Learn English with the Bible provides Bible-based lesson plans that will walk you through an ESL lesson step-by-step.A Chinese college student once asked me, "What is Easter?" That discussion was the beginning of this book, and these twenty lesson plans will take your students through the story of Easter, as found in the last three chapters of the book of Matthew. Each detailed lesson plan gives you instructions for teaching the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), as well as detailed pronunciation and grammar exercises and new vocabulary words. You'll find enough material in each lesson to fill at least two hours of time with your students. Many lessons have games and worksheets that will help your adult learners absorb the content.All the lesson texts are taken from the Contemporary English Version (CEV) of the Bible. This version is a faithful translation of the original text in easy-to-understand English that is relevant to how English is spoken today. Sample sentences for grammar and vocabulary exercises are also taken from the CEV Bible.
