The presentation will end with audience discussion. The presenter shares practices that public school ESL teachers can use to make the most of the limited time and material they may have for working with students in ESL pullout programs. These ideas are illustrated with stories of less than ideal situations where they have worked. The presenter describes service learning projects she uses to extend the ESL curriculum, talking time, and experiences of ESL students. Participants receive handouts, including the questionnaire used and suggestions for projects and activities.
Audience participation is encouraged.
120 Presenters share their experience of using authentic materials in EFL classes. Students play a central role in the selection of content-based materials and the design of different activities. These interactive activities include simulation, debate, and discussion, and materials include cartoons, advertisements, and newspaper and magazine articles. Implementing CBI into syllabus and materials design is a daunting task at the practical level. Presenters will describe the inter-departmental collaboration, introduce selected materials, demonstrate how to create class sets of children's books using an origami fold, and answer your questions.
