I am reminded that many students will benefit from small assignments in thinking, speaking, and writing in English with words, phrases, and Sentences. This includes word roots. I am reminded this is not just the student one traditionally thinks of as the ESL student, but also the student who regularly communicates in English, but may not write in English, or who communicates in another language at home. Many students who do speak English at some also lack basic grammer skills also will benefit.
