English as a Second Language (ESL) Material

Does any one know of a source for "good" ESL material? I know I can find secular stuff. But, if some one has developed material from a Christian perspective so much the better.

I have some stuff that I used in China this summer. Don't remember who put it together, though, but I can check into it for you.

There used to be a system built around the book of Mark.

It was SBC in origin, but I am not sure who the publisher was.

:eek: Saggy, the namb address sent me to the National Association of Brokers site. Unless you know something about them I don't.

The best program is from LEI- Literacy and Evangelism, International. They used to have a web page but can't find it right now, here is some other info...

They also offer a training program and it is excellent!

(And no, I don't work for them, I just went through the training and have been very impressed with the results.)

Thanks for all of your leads. I will be following up on them. What's happening is I teach the Russian Bible Class in our Adult Sunday School program. These folks have a bare working knowledge of English. However, because Russian is so highly inflected (think NT Greek) they are scared of making a mistake in English grammar. :eek: Easy to do in Russian :confused: , harder to do in English. So, I amj taking a few minutes at the start of class and clarify in their minds something simple like
The basic order of an English sentence: Subject-Verb-Direct\Indirect Object\Subjective Compliment rarely changes.
Now, it's on to adjectives and adverbs.
