Hello colleagues, Learning about essential aspects of culture around the world is part and parcel of all ESOL classes. Ramadan began on March 10 this year and will conclude with Eid El-Fitr on Tuesday, April 9. I have found it rewarding to focus on these important events in my classes. I have learned so much from the learners in my classes!
See below for links to a couple of useful lesson plans focused on the Muslim cultural calendar.
Let us know how you integrate culture, including these aspects of Muslim culture, into your instruction.
Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
