Hi, Christina and all 



 



I understand that some of you with older computers can’t
open attachments. Lynda Terrill was nice enough to convert the Word file into a
PDF that for the time being lives on the CAELA site.

Hi, Bonnie and all 



 



Attached are the 7 Habits – I wrote them for struggling
readers at the intermediate level and later adapted them for ESL. We now use
them as a framework for teaching comprehension and reading strategies. 
Some teachers put them up on the classroom walls to remind students when they
get stuck to try out one or two of the strategies ; some, like Andrea, use them
to reinforce a point they may make about reading as they teach different kinds
of lessons that focus on making sense of print. 



 



How about others,  do you teach the skills and strategies
associated with reading comprehension directly or do you mostly engage students
in print allowing students to pick up these skills through immersion or by
transferring reading skills from L1 ?  (I, of course, have an opinion on
that but more on that later J

Good
morning,









 









I
am Andrea Greer and I teach ESL to a multi-level class of adults
at College of the Mainland.









 









I
have used the Seven Habits
of Successful Readers received from Heide at the Reading Institute
to help my students focus on their reading skills.









 









We produced
a class video on "Getting the Job"  where the students used the
skills learned about job searching using the newspaper, completing the job
application, cold calling at the job site to inquire about a job opening, and
how to determine and express their job skills and work experience to prepare
for their role in the video.









 









We
read about various workplace situations.  Used the Oxford Picture Dictionary,
Longman's Study Dictionary
to prepare their script for the video.  In many instances, the
intermediate and advanced learners used their prior knowledge to adlib in the
interview process.  These learners were often the interviewer while the
lower level students were the interviewees. 










 









This
technology allowed the students to see themselves interact in conversation with
their classmates.  While some were shy initially, their engagement in the
activity proved to be fun and a rewarding learning experience.  They also
wrote about the experience and shared with the class.









 









Andrea
Greer

I have found the following resources to be very helpful for
my beginning ESL students as well as my intermediate students.  I used
them in class as well as have the students check them out for their local
library to review and write the dialogs.  









 









One of the ways we use the written dialog is by have them do
rehearsal time with other students.  This has been rewarding to the
students because it gives immediate feed back and they can correct their
pronunciation based upon the video tape.









 







 
Learning English as a Second Language, pronouns,
     adjectives and the present tense 

 
ESL easy English, volumes 1-4: cover the
     following topics 






 

  
Meeting and Greeting 

  
Understanding Basic Conversation 

  
Using Numbers and Money 

  
Asking and Giving Directions, address and
      phone numbers

 








I also used several YouTube clippings for my more
intermediate students and they loved it.  It is a challenge to me to
continue to bring various technology based activities into the classroom. 
With my session come to an end soon, my plans are to incorporate more in my
next sessions.
