Problem Posing ESL for Migrant Farm Workers in Vermont
Addresses the need for ESL materials that are directly relevant to farmworkers’ life experiences and day-to-day problems. The dialogues use problem-posing ESL strategies adapted from The Pedagogy of the Oppressed by the Brazilian adult educator, Paulo Freire. Each dialogue in this booklet is a code, a realistic and relevant representation of the context and content within which students experience problems and face challenges.

| The Migrant ESL Resource Booklet, developed by the University of Michigan English Language Institute, is intended to be a bilingual resource for teachers and tutors of English as a second language to migrant farmworkers in the USA. The lesson plans were selected from among the institute’s most successful topics and activities; it is not a student book per se, but many pages can be used directly with students. This booklet is not copyrighted, and can be reproduced without permission. |
| English in Minutes was created by the Tennessee Opportunity Programs (TOPS) to help Spanish speakers learn English. There are five books in the series. They are based on complete conversations of survival English. They contain the phrase in Spanish, English and the phonetics for Spanish speakers to pronounce the phrases correctly. Each book has an accompanying audio CD. These materials are copyrighted, and must be purchased. |
| 2008 ELL Lesson Plans developed by the Tennessee Migrant Education Program (MEP). This manual contains a series of lesson plans targeting the needs, interests and language proficiency of beginning-level adult English Language Learners (ELLs). Within these user-friendly lesson plans, ESL teachers are directed to various on-line resources supporting Life Skills topics such as understanding directions, reading maps, exercise and diet, emergency information, a visit to WalMart, getting a job, etc. These materials are not copyrighted, and can be reproduced without permission. |
| Living in America is designed to the needs, interests and language proficiency of beginning-level adult English Language Learners (ELLs). The curriculum, consisting of thirty (30) instructional packets, was developed primarily for migrant farmworkers, but addresses the needs of all ELLs who have very limited literacy and oral skills. The curriculum provides the framework for successful learning, with concise, easy-to-follow directions and a selection of topics that are relevant to the situations and tasks encountered by newly arrived adults. Civics-based lessons, paired with life skill lessons, provide learners with an awareness of the principles and laws that are part of life in the United States. The curriculum developers coined the term “social civics” to account for situations where a particular behavior is inappropriate, but not illegal. The two-lesson packets are non-sequential with each lesson providing approximately 120 – 180 minutes of instruction. The four to six hours of instruction per packet may be divided flexibly to meet the learner’s needs and time requirements. This curriculum is copyrighted, and must be purchased. |
