X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Status: O Content-Length: 3927 Lines: 128 While we are on the subject of "Model ESL Programs", I would like to ask a question. What do you consider to be the 'model' ESL-specific lesson plan format? We are trying to create a 'formal' lesson plan template that is ESOL-specific. We have researched a number of resources and have found that the components for the 'recommended' ESOL-specific lesson plan are pretty much the same with the exception of the titles of the components. Even when the title varies (such as learner activities vs practice) the definition is basically the same. We have many ESOL practitioners who are 1) part-time, 2) have no language acquisition teaching experience or related educational background and 3) some who may not even hold a k12 teaching license that would indicate they have had training in teaching methods/lesson planning. For these reasons, we want to provide training in lesson planning and ESOL-specific teaching strategies. Of course, we know that they will not create a formal plan before each class, but we want them to at least know how to do so and understand the principals that support each component of an ESOL-specific lesson plan. In an effort to create a lesson plan that conforms to recognized ESL specifications, we would greatly appreciate your feedback.
