WHAT AN ADULT ESL TEACHER DOES The fundamental duty of a teacher of adult ESL is to facilitate the development of communication skills in English, either in a classroom setting or in a one-on-one tutoring structure. In many program settings, teachers must also include substantive content beyond language instruction, such as employment skills, survival skills, cultural information, or American history and citizenship facts. Teachers must also take into consideration the implications of the learners' cultural differences and cultural adjustment processes. Other duties may include any combination of materials development or selection, lesson planning, curriculum development, assessment and evaluation, and even counseling or referrals.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Kutner, Mark Source: National Clearinghouse on Literacy Education Washington DC., Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education for Limited-English-Proficient Adults Washington DC. Staff Development for ABE and ESL Teachers and Volunteers. ERIC Digest. STAFF DEVELOPMENT FORMATS Because of the lack of state certification requirements and the lack of training opportunities in institutions of higher education, most adult education staff development takes place through voluntary inservice offerings (e.g., workshops, conferences, seminars) rather than in preservice training (Tibbetts et al., 1991). The following types of inservice staff development formats have emerged: KEY ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE STAFF DEVELOPMENT Given the lack of empirical data with which to document effective staff development practices, in 1991 the U.S. Department of Education funded the "Study of ABE/ESL Instructor Training Approaches." The study identified a number of key elements of effective staff development through a review of the research literature and site visits to nine staff development programs. The programs selected for the study were nominated by leaders in the field and represented ABE and ESL training programs, training for both new and experienced teachers and volunteer instructors, and locally and state-focused services. The key elements of effective staff development identified in the study were organized into three broad categories: developing ownership in training, designing instruction, and addressing the concerns of teachers and volunteer instructors (Kutner et al., 1992; Sherman et al., 1991).
