me too.  Betty Butterworth (Canada)

I put in all my information, but then used the postal code from the
organization itself (it's in the acceptance agreement). I hope that's OK?

Hi everyone,

I tried to access the website, but could not register for a log in because
of a US address or postal code. It sounds really interesting. I work at the
high school level, but have several adult learners in my classroom and am
always interested in finding out more information on how to use age
appropriate materials etc.

What can I do to have access to this website?

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. 

 

Here is a link to it http://www.excellencegateway.org.uk/sflcurriculum

 

 

with best wishes,

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!
