34. The ESL class is a place for students to practice oral presentations, edit reports and get help with projects from other classes as well as adjust to life in an American high school. The ESL classroom should be a comfortable, relaxed place to experiment with English and become familiar with American customs and culture. back menu next The ESL teacher will work with other teachers to help the ESL students complete as much work as possible.
