Eyes on English
Billak, Bonnie
English Teaching Forum, v49 n3 p28-33 2011
A persistent problem for teachers in English as a Second Language (ESL) situations concerns students who speak their shared common language instead of English in the classroom. Considering the inherent difficulty of the speaking skill, this is understandable. Learners often prefer to interact socially in their native language, allowing them to more effectively express a full range of ideas. In this article, the author discusses Eyes on English, a schoolwide campaign she developed to promote the use of English. This article presents the rationale for implementing Eyes on English and describes how it can help teachers increase English usage through an activity that is practical, fun, and easy to implement.
