How do you explain the concept of rights (as in freedom is a right)to ESL students?

Posted on December 21st, 2009 by admin

Chinese students studying for the naturalization exam are having a hard time with the word "right" as it is used in the BIll of Rights," for example. Any ideas on how to convey its definition? They are still struggling with basic English.

tell them to use dictionary
right is you can do anything you want not right or wrong

    Perhaps you could begin with the use of the word *freedoms*. that word is generally recognized.

    good luck!
