adult ESL

Hi ,Technology and Education Group.

I'm the SME for the English Language Learning Community of Practice. The following question was posted on the ELL CoP a few days ago. No response. I'd like to help the member who posted.

Could anyone in this group respond?  I know you are the people who know! Thanks, Miriam

I have beginning Family Literacy students who would like to learn some children’s songs.  I want to teach them children’s songs that are also helpful for their English – so I don’t really want to use songs w/nonsense words, obscure words (like in nursery rhymes), or words that aren’t really necessary for adults (animals and their sounds).

Hi all,

In South Carolina we are continuing a long discussion on standards and content objectives for the adult ESL population, and I'd like to understand more about how this is approached in other places.

How are you using the College and Career Readiness Standards for English Language Learners in your state/organization?  If you have other standards in place, how will you approach integrating these?  Will you?  Adn if you do not have other standards in place, are you considering using these for your ESL population? How?

 My name is Glenn McComas, and I am a recent graduate of East Carolina University with a B.S Degree in 
Public Health Studies and a concentration in Health Education and Promotion. I am currently a Health
 Literacy intern with the Literacy Volunteers of Pitt County and I have the intentions of creating and 
implementing a Health Literacy program/ resource here at LV-PC. Here at LV-PC they mainly focus on adult
 basic education. (reading, writing, and math)
