These factors have important implications for the way the teaching is undertaken. The authors draw on their wealth of experience with adult learners to offer practical strategies for the classroom. Key topics include: Planning, learning and assessment Accuracy and fluency Learning contexts Language analysis, language use and language acquisition This is essential reading for students on adult ESOL subject specialist certificate courses, or integrated Cert Ed/PGCE ESOL courses.

This book was released on 2023-09-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and bilingual education teachers face many challenges, including teaching in multilingual classrooms, addressing diverse learning needs, and engaging families and communities. These difficulties can make it challenging for new teachers to feel supported and to develop the skills needed to provide high-quality instruction to English Learners (ELs). The field also lacks professional development opportunities, creating a sense of isolation. Mentoring and Reflective Teachers in ESOL and Bilingual Education is a practical solution to these challenges. The book draws on expert educators' experiences to offer strategies and best practices that can be used to support new ESOL teachers' professional development. The book emphasizes the importance of collaboration, reflective practice, and ongoing professional development, offering concrete examples of how these practices can be implemented in real-world contexts. This comprehensive guide covers various professional activities that can help improve classroom instruction for ELs and encourage family and community involvement. Topics include mentoring in ESOL teacher education, professional development, and support for ESOL teachers, guided practice and professional growth of teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse learners, collaborative networks of ESOL teachers, building a community of reflective practice, and best practices in ESOL education. With this book, ESOL and bilingual education teachers can gain the support they need to provide high-quality instruction to ELs and build strong relationships with families and communities.
Download or read book Language and ESOL Methodology a unique perspective written by Irwin Goldstein and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unfortunate but true that many misconceptions exist regarding teaching English to non-English speakers. Just as one who can read is not by that criterion alone capable of teaching reading, knowing a particular language does not ensure that one can effectively teach it. It is an error to assume that "common sense" can guide one in this regard. True "common sense" is simply not as common as many may believe. What may appear a sensible thing to do in teaching ESOL, may in fact (as one who reads the book will see) prove counter-productive and in turn detrimental to the learning process. This book focuses on subject matter which includes the question of what language actually is (it's components, skills and traits), the history of the English language, past and current ESOL teaching techniques and culture as a factor in language learning. The book is designed to be of value to ESOL teachers and administrators, students preparing to teach ESOL, volunteers in need of learning more about the field and individuals who may simply be interested in the history of the English language and/or ESOL methodology. The book's information is expected to increase the knowledge of readers as well as to help some strengthen and others develop a solid foundation upon which to rely in whatever approach they choose to teach ESOL.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Schools are not intentionally equitable places for English learners to achieve, but they could be if the right system of support were put in place. Diane Staehr Fenner and Sydney Snyder recommend just such a system. Not only does it have significant potential for providing fuller access to the core curriculum, it also provides a path for teachers to travel as they navigate the individual needs of students and support their learning journeys." --Douglas Fisher, Coauthor of Visible Learning for Literacy A once-in-a-generation text for assisting a new generation of students Content teachers and ESOL teachers, take special note: if you're looking for a single resource to help your English learners meet the same challenging content standards as their English-proficient peers, your search is complete. Just dip into this toolbox of strategies, examples, templates, and activities from EL authorities Diane Staehr Fenner and Sydney Snyder. The best part? Unlocking English Learners' Potential supports teachers across all levels of experience. The question is not if English learners can succeed in today's more rigorous classrooms, but how. Unlocking English Learners' Potential is all about the how: How to scaffold ELs' instruction across content and grade levels How to promote ELs' oral language development and academic language How to help ELs analyze text through close reading and text-dependent questions How to build ELs' background knowledge How to design and use formative assessment with ELs Along the way, you'll build the collaboration, advocacy, and leadership skills that we all need if we're to fully support our English learners. After all, any one of us with at least one student acquiring English is now a teacher of ELs.
