- THE ADVENTURES OF SUPER TEACHER
- Hello Everyone, I'm Super teacher and I have a mission today! Join me in this wonderful experience !
- I have a question: What authentic activities and materials are being successfully utilized in adult ESL classrooms? I will create a study but first I want to search some information in the library.
- First thing I found was: According to the U.S. Department of Education,44% of students in federally funded adult education programs in the United States are English as a second language learners.
- Many of these learners are at the lowest ESL level, beginning literacy.These students often face the dual challenge of developing basic literacy skills as well as proficiency in English. Adult ESL learners enroll in English language instruction programs for a variety of reasons.
- Besides, adult ESL learners have specific learning goals that reflect their life goals.
- Finally I read that... Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a “conception of teaching and learning that helps teachers relate subject matter content to real world situations” So, in terms of authenticity CLT has been advocated as an accepted paradigm for language teaching. In CLT, “language techniques are designed to engage learners in the pragmatic, authentic, functional use of language for meaningful purposes” However, some cast doubt on the claims of authenticity within CLT...
- Super teacher thought of her friends Condelli, Wrigley, Yoon, Cronen, and Seburn and she decided to invite them to conduct the study.
- Ok, I think I got all I need.
- Ok my friends! First we need the participants !
- I know a volunteer pool of 30 teachers of adult ESL in programs located throughout the United States. All participants are members of regional or national professional associations in the field of adult education.
- Great!
