Hi Anne:

The following project has been done with migrant workers who are Spanish
GED students. However, the approach could be used with ESL students. It
deals specifically with the issue of identities. The average education
of the students was 6 grade education from Mexico. Go to
http://bordersenses.com/memorias 

Click on the books to see what the project is all about. The first book
is translated in its entirety. The second is partially translated. Let
me know if you have questions.

Andres

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 828] meaningful activities that address
learners'identities

Hi,

My name is Anne and I am a MA TESOL student at San Francisco State 
University.

I am writing a research paper on what specefic practices or activities
ESL 
teachers use to address learners' identities.

I know this is a broad topic, but I am looking for specific activities
that 
you, the teachers, have found successful in getting to know who your 
learners are, particularly low-level Students.

The activity could involve any facet of identity, either personal or 
cultural.

And, what are the results or visible changes you see in the learners as
a 
result of these activities?

Thank you. I would appreciate any input.

Anne
