These events make February a particularly rich month for integrating civics into English language learning adult classes. NCLE's EL/Civics Activities For Adults http://www.cal.org/ncle/civics/ offer examples and advice for integrating civics into English language instruction at all levels of proficiency. Of particular interest this month: The Activities for African-American History Month http://www.cal.org/ncle/civics/AAmon.htm has recently been updated to include more Internet activities for high intermediate and advanced level learners including links to the recent National Public Radio's recent multi-faceted report on James Weldon Johnson's song, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2002/feb/liftvoice/020204.lift.html and Charles Moore's "Powerful Days" which highlights his photographs of the Civil Rights era http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/2002/feb/liftvoice/020204.lift.html. Have a look and download activities to use in your classroom. Write to us ncle@cal.org and let us know what you think of the materials and resources in our collection.
