Approaches To Adult ESL Literacy Instruction Were you taught how to teach adult esl literacy? Many undergraduate and graduateprograms largely ignore this part of the esl teaching field. http://writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/ej08/r6.html
Extractions: US $12.95 Were you taught how to teach adult ESL literacy? Many undergraduate and graduate programs largely ignore this part of the ESL teaching field. Many of us were taught to teach in environments where the students are typically well-educated. Many teachers who end up employed in adult education find that they must play "catch-up" in order to come to grips with this new (and very different) classroom. The first book that anyone new to adult ESL should read is Approaches to Adult ESL Literacy Instruction, a collection of essays edited by JoAnn Crandall and Joy Kreeft Peyton of the Center for Applied Linguistics. Each essay has been written by an expert in the particular approach it covers, and the book is the primary source for all instruction in this area. The first chapter covers attaining literacy through a competency-based educational approach (CBE). K. Lynn Savage describes CBE as "a functional approach to education that emphasizes life skills and evaluates mastery of those skills according to actual learner performance" ( p. 15). Through this approach students learn those basic life skills associated with survival in a new country, such as language associated with how to obtain food and shelter or how to ask for directions. In Savage's use of this approach, it can also include how to take notes for a lecture or how to function in a work-place situation. She describes it as having four components: assessment of student needs, selection of competencies based on those needs, instruction targeted to those needs, and evaluation of student performance in those competencies (p. 16).
