This article explores various strategies for teaching English to ESL students, focusing on practical approaches to enhance language acquisition and proficiency. Key strategies include language input, meaningful interaction, cultural sensitivity, differentiated instruction, and the use of technology. Understanding these strategies can empower educators to create engaging and supportive learning environments that promote language development and academic success among ESL students.
