ABSTRACT

ESL is a widely famous program which determines to help students to learn English as a second language to enhance their communication practices. The program is aimed to help non-native students to build their English. Various strategies are used by the instructors but the most effective strategy is called TBL (task-based learning) and this strategy has proved to be effective for the learning and teaching experience of both the teachers as well as students. The students are indulged in various productive tasks that help them in enhancing their second language. Another approach that has been proved successful while teaching the students about grammar and its concept is called PPP (presentation-practice-production) strategy. This strategy has been analyzed as an innovative method of teaching students about grammatical concepts by giving them drills and various activities. Finally, another strategy that has been suggested as productive for ESL programs is Language Experience Strategy which helps the students in learning the English Language by reflecting on their past experiences.
