Creating engaging ESL content

I’ve been diving into multimedia tools to spice up my ESL lessons lately. Integrating videos and interactive quizzes has transformed the way my students engage with the material. Has anyone else tried using similar approaches, and if so, what resources did you find most helpful?

, I totally get it! Using interactive quizzes has really turned things around for my students, too. I found @Quizlet super helpful for creating engaging content that sticks.

Using @EdPuzzle to embed questions in videos has really enhanced comprehension for my students. It’s a great way to keep them engaged throughout, and they love it! What specific tools are you thinking about using next?
