	Hi Everyone,
	 
	In England, an ESOL curriculum was put together around 2001 and learner materials to support it followed a couple of years later. Here is a link to the Adult ESOL Core Curriculum we refer to when planning courses etc. It has been particularly useful for new teachers and had supporting documents such as exemplars of learner language which helped tutors and assessors/ exam bodies get a 'feel' for the levels.

	Hello colleagues -

	
	 

	I'm wondering if anybody out there has recently gone through the process of designing or formalizing a leveled curriculum for their program (instead of just using a textbook as a curriculum)?  Would love to hear about your experiences - how you did it, what your process was, or just what you learned or found challenging? A program around here is thinking about doing just that, so I thought it would be good to hear what the field has to say about it - thanks in advance!
