Online English Lessons, Ministry of Education

When the Ministry of Education asked whether they could teach ESL (English as a Second Language) using eight of my illustrated children’s stories, how could I say no? OK, it didn’t come out exactly as I hoped, there are mistakes here and there, but nevertheless I am glad that children are learning English using my stories.

Here is the link to all the online ESL lessons made available by the Ministry. And I have linked here to the powerpoint presentations of each of my lessons, and the video as well, and have added the original stories which were edited for ESL purposes. Please feel free to use them, and let me know whether the kids enjoy them!
