Hello colleagues, I am certain that most of us include health literacy in our ESL instruction. I wanted to share a health literacy resource developed by our colleagues in British Columbia Canada. You will find a useful collection of lesson materials as well as videos (with transcripts) focused on supporting learners from Beginning Literacy to Intermediate levels to communicate with health care providers.
Let us know your impressions of these instructional materials.
It would be great to hear how teachers are approaching health literacy in their classrooms.
Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
