Learning new vocabulary is the most obvious use for and benefit of Scrabble in the ESL classroom. Also learning new vocabulary words is always useful. It goes without saying that misspelled words aren't allowed in the game of Scrabble. Part of learning how to spell in English is knowing what letter combinations appear frequently in words. In fact, serious Scrabble players will arrange their letter tiles to see common letter combinations in hopes of discovering a word they might play. These common combinations, such as ch, ll, sh, ck, br, tr, tion, etc., might help a player realize a word he has the makings for among his tiles. For ESL students, though, these letter combinations can be even more useful. Common vowel pairings like ou or ee will help your students learn spelling patterns that English has. Learning numbers can also be a tough thing to learn and practice in a foreign language. Help me, help them... and have fun too!
