X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 1234 Lines: 33 One very nice free online resource which is handy for busy teachers is the Fairfax County (VA) Family Literacy Curriculum, created by Betsy Wong, at http://www.aelweb.vcu.edu/publications/famlitcurric/ . This multi-level, learner-centered curriculum contains complete, teacher-friendly lesson plans with plenty of reproducible handouts. It gives special attention to beginners and low-literacy learners, and is definitely useful beyond family literacy-specific settings. Unit topics include "Self, Family, and Community;" "Schools and Community;" "Health: Medicine and Stress," and "Shopping and Making a Budget." I'm guessing there are more free, ready-to-use ESL materials popping up on the Web these days. Can anyone recommend any others?
