Extractions: in Adult ESL Literacy The National Center for ESL Literacy Education (NCLE) is the only national center focusing on literacy education for adults and out-of-school youth learning English as a second language. NCLE's most important job is responding to questions by providing resources and referrals. Each year, thousands of ESL practitioners, program administrators, students, and policymakers contact NCLE requesting information. Most requests are highly individualized, but we find that many are similar in content or nature. From a group of these, we have produced the following set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and answers about adult ESL literacy for NCLE's website. (Last updated 10/10/01) What is ESL? How many adults are studying English in the US? How many more adults would like to enroll in ESL programs? What types of ESL programs are there for adults? ... What do beginning adult ESL teachers, tutors, and volunteers need to know? 1. What is ESL? Adult ESL, or English as a second language, is the term used to describe English language instruction for adults who are nonnative speakers. (Adult English for speakers of other languages, or adult ESOL, is alternately used in various parts of the United States.) Adult ESL is used to describe various types of instructional services for adults who do not speak English (see question four below for some examples). It can be difficult to express its many forms in one definition.

ESL Instruction for Learning Disabled Adults. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This digest looks at what "is" known about learning disabilities and adult ESL learners, and addresses the following questions: How do learning disabilities affect the progress of adults learning English? How can learning disabled adults be identified and assessed? What kinds of instructional methods work best with this population? What kind of preparation is needed for teachers who work with them? LEARNING DISABILITIES AND SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING IDENTIFYING ESL ADULTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES The process of identifying anyoneadult, child, native English speaker, or ESL learneras learning disabled can be stigmatizing (McCormick, 1991). Therefore, educators stress weighing the advantages of identifying adults as learning disabled (making them eligible for special instruction, resources, and services) against the possible stigma of the label (Lowry, 1990).

Transitions Abroad As the world rushes to acquire English, the new lingua franca of international commerce, diplomacy, and higher education, the bulk of teaching opportunities abroad are for English teachers.Your "credential" is simply being a native speaker of the English language. Some formal ESL training, whether in TOEFL or TESOL, is almost always a plus when you seek to teach English abroad. The ability to teach ESL may be all you need to obtain a job and a work permit abroad in areas such as Asia and Eastern Europe. Many other English teaching jobs exist around the globe, as detailed in our comprehensive and ever-growing list of articles, resources and web links. To learn more about the array of acronyms relating to this booming field, click here ESL Training and Job Placement Programs If you lack experience or credentials, you may want some formal study, often generically called ESL training, before heading overseas in search of an English language teaching position. Virtually all positions require only a bachelor's degree. However, candidates with advanced training and either a certificate in ESL or a master's degree in TESOL will have greater flexibility and command more pay.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC In multilevel adult English as a second language (ESL) classes, teachers are challenged to use a variety of materials, activities, and techniques to engage the interest of the learners and assist them in their educational goals. This digest recommends ways to choose and organize content for multilevel classes; it explains grouping strategies; it discusses a self-access component, independent work for individual learners; and it offers suggestions for managing the classes. THE MULTILEVEL CLASS NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLANNING FOR THE MULTILEVEL CLASS GROUPING STRATEGIES 1. WHOLE GROUP activities are appropriate initially for beginning a new class and regularly for daily warm-up time. They can focus the entire group on a theme that later involves various individual and small group tasks. The whole group can participate in a class project to create a finished product (such as a book, bulletin board, or video), where each learner completes a part of the task based on individual abilities and interests (Bell, 1991). Other initial whole group activities that lend themselves to follow-up activities at various difficulty levels include reading comic strips or photo stories; listening to audiotapes or viewing videotapes; taking field trips; learning songs; and brainstorming on topics of interest.

ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC What has the field learned about offering instruction to literacy level (low or beginning) adult ESL learners? This digest provides information on how to identify and assess the instructional needs of adults learning to become literate in a second language; it discusses general techniques that facilitate instruction for these learners; it provides a sample procedure for combining some of these techniques; and it describes classroom materials appropriate for low-level adult ESL learners. LOW-LEVEL LEARNERS There are several categories of adult ESL learners who can benefit from the approaches and techniques used in instruction for low-level learners (Crystal, 1982; California Department of Education, 1992; Savage, 1993). These categories include the following:

http://www-writing.berkeley.edu/TESL-EJ/ej14/r12.html

Extractions: US $34.50 (also available in cloth, US $79.95) Adult ESL: Politics, Pedagogy, and Participation in Classroom and Community Programs provides a comprehensive description of the state of adult ESL programs with a collection of twenty papers addressing diverse issues concerning adult ESL and literacy training in North America. The papers range from first person accounts of struggles to obtain and maintain government funding for adult ESL to practical discussions of critical pedagogy in action. The next three chapters of the politics section focus on feminist issues in ESL and adult literacy. In one of the few papers to look outside the U.S., Bonny Norton describes her diary-based study of the language-learning experiences of five women immigrants in Canada. Trudy Smoke also provides a case study of student identity and change. Finally, Stephanie Vandrick provides a good, albeit brief, introduction to feminist theory and research as applicable to ESL teaching. Unfortunately, her description of a feminist pedagogy (versus a critical pedagogy) is somewhat less clear. Basically, "feminist pedagogy" has more to do with a perspective, rather than a methodology. As a result, perhaps, Vandrick appears occasionally to use theoretical terminology which could be discussed in a more simple manner.

http://www.tesol.net/teslprog.teach.html

Extractions: Here are some tips on how to fix it. There are schools and programs offering TESL/TEFL certification popping up everywhere. From one-day workshops to full-fledged Master's and PhD/EdD programs, you can see there's quite a range of training available. So what do you pick if you want to get a teaching job, and what educational or certification path is right for you? Sadly, there's not an easy answer to that. (You knew I'd say that, didn't you?) The "paper" you need (whether it be a college degree, a course or seminar diploma, or a certificate) will depend on the job you want, the location of that job, and the skills required by the employer. Yes, you can find a job teaching English in some countries without a certification. Korea, for example, only requires a Bachelor's degree and it can be in any subject. Some people have managed to find jobs in other countries without even a college degree, although many of them ended up working "under the table," that is to say, illegally, so that's not the best idea.

Extractions: What can a new teacher do? What can a teacher who suddenly has ESL students do to make that lesson plan work? Some of the best focuses for a first class or for a class early in the student/teacher relationship include writing practice, basic vocabulary, getting acquainted, and themes of tolerance of individual differences. Newspapers, phone books, magazines as well as other realia and your students themselves may be the best resources for lesson materials. The following questions are examples of what teachers may want to ask themselves and reflect on when they are thinking about lesson plans and which materials to utilize and some possible answers to those questions. How can I help students increase sight word recognition? How can I offer learner-centered instruction? Finding a real need (driver's license) Assessing education in first language, not just in English Using real, natural curiosity
