OVERVIEW

How do we reach our adult students with a mature approach to beginning literacy? How much input can learners with little to no literacy in their own language handle without being overwhelmed? The presenters will review the difference between literacy instruction for children and for adults. Come and learn a thoughtful approach to helping our students hold fast to what they already know while developing skills more efficiently and successfully.

Staci Johnson

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with other cultures and languages. I love to travel and every place I go, the first thing I want to do is meet the people, learn their language, and understand their culture. Becoming an ESL teacher was a perfect way to turn what I love to do into my profession. There’s nothing more incredible than the exchange of teaching and learning from one another that goes on in an ESL classroom. And there’s nothing more rewarding than helping a student succeed.

OVERVIEW

Teaching in a virtual classroom presents challenges for even the best teachers.  One such challenge is how to motivate our students while maintaining a learner-centered environment.  Video is a great way to open our students’ minds to possibilities and avoid the common syndrome of endless hours of talking heads.  Using video in our classrooms (whether virtual or not) is a skill that can be developed and used now in this new learning environment. 
 
In this session learn to use Stand Out life-skill videos and National Geographic videos at even the lowest levels to bring your instruction to life and reach students in an online environment.
