3 Welcome Introductions: Who am I? Warm-up activity: Who are you? Introduction: Who are adult ESL literacy learners?
4 Workshop Objective: By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to plan teaching activities to enhance pre-literacy skills and concept development in Foundation Phase learners.
5 Today s Workshop Agenda: Define ESL literacy Review characteristics of CLB Foundation Phase learners Introduce pre-literacy concepts and skills Explore best practices and examples of classroom activities in Foundational learning Oral first Hands on Vary the pace Repetition
6 What is ESL literacy? A program for people who are learning English and developing literacy skills at the same time.
7 Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000: ESL for Literacy Learners ESL Literacy Benchmarks are divided into four levels, called Phases: Foundation Phase Phase I Phase II Phase III
8 Foundation Phase learners are developing the fine motor skills and visual discrimination skills needed for reading and writing. They need to develop the concepts that oral language can be represented in text and that text has meaning.
9 Foundation Phase learners need to: Develop pre-reading skills Develop pre-writing skills Improve their oral English so they can connect the spoken and the written word Learn appropriate classroom behavior
10 Pre-literacy Concepts Foundation Phase learners need to understand that: Oral language is connected to print Print is organized in predictable ways Print conveys meaning
11 Pre-literacy Skills Foundation Phase learners need to practice: Visual discrimination Visual tracking Fine motor skills and letter formation Copying
12 So We need to do activities that allow learners to gain experience with these preliteracy concepts and skills.
13 Best Practices to keep in mind Oral first Hands on Vary the pace Repetition
14 Foundation Phase learners are learning a new language without the literacy skills to take notes review their schoolwork at home learn new vocabulary from reading The instructor's challenge is to keep activities easy enough not to overwhelm the learners varied enough to be stimulating relevant to their lives Instructors need to do all this while recycling everything so that the learners have many opportunities to learn.
15 Activities and Approaches Where to begin? Personal information: Activities: Flashcards of their own info Point to their info on an info sheet Sit down if activities Fill out teacher-made forms
16 Thematic Units Allow for repetition and vocabulary development Introduce orally and kinaesthetically Flashcards: Picture to picture Picture to word
17 Val s Best Practices in Flashcard Use Introduce real objects and then teacher set of flashcards 6-12 flashcards per theme Photo images Flashcards of photos first; words later Grid for L R, top down Use same images for all worksheets in unit Recycle across time
18 Ways to Use Flashcards Board/pocketchart Memory games Individual matching Teacher dictation on grid Show me Clapping games What is missing Reference set for worksheets Following a pattern (copying)
19 Flashcards in Action
20 Flashcards in Action
21 Other Manipulatives and Realia
22 Ways to recycle Bingo Personal dictionary Clapping game Routines
23 Oral/Aural activities Receptive (Aural) Sit down if Point to TPR Write a number under the picture Speaking Singing Chants Clapping games Bean bag toss
24 Board work
25 Fine motor skills Posters Copying Using scissors Flashcards Bingo Colouring
26 A Note on Worksheets Layout: Only one activity per worksheet Large (20 plus) font Clear visuals Helpful hints: Shading for tracking Same visuals as flashcards Same order as taught Only a few worksheets per day
27 Field Trips Take pictures of colours Go on a walk and find all the word push and pull, Calgary, Canada
28 Assessment
29 So... Remember Start with the oral Recycle, recycle, recycle Connect everything to pre-literacy concepts and pre-literacy skills Change activities every few minutes
30 Workshop Objective: By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to plan teaching activities to enhance pre-literacy skills and concept development in Foundation Phase learners.
