Sorry for my earlier tantrum. I am at home with a fever and in a bad mood. There are some good reources for ESL teachers out there.

Here are three good recommendations:

Bringing Literacy to Life by Wrigely and Guth
Making meaning Making Change by Elsa Auerbach
Approaches to Adult ESL Instruction by Peyton and Crandall

Teachers can read these books and all you need to do is buy just one per teacher, instead one per students. I think that they are published by CAL and I rather give my money to them.


Also, call the Fannie Mae foundation. They publish good ESL and ABE books. The best part is that they'll give them to you for free (its called corporate guilt). they'll send you a teacher's guide and an bunch of copies for your students.
