Book Synopsis Teaching ESL to pre-literate adult refugees with no formal education by : Letitia Me-Oui Robinson
Download or read book Teaching ESL to pre-literate adult refugees with no formal education written by Letitia Me-Oui Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growing populations of refugees coming to the United States every year, there is a distinct absence of effective ESL education for those who have no formal educational experience. Adult refugees who have never been to school have immense difficulties in acquiring a second language and are often taught in ways that are not designed around their learning styles and specific language goals. There is an established need for non-native English speaking adults to learn the language if they live and work in the United States. However, non-profit organizations such as Bethany Christian Services are unsure how best to expose these students in English within an academic structure. The entire school experience, (its rigor, structure, and expectations) is an unfamiliar environment to this demographic of people, so a more specialized kind of instruction is necessary to help them gain the English skills that are needed for survival in this country. This project explores the theories of adult education and second language acquisition in order to devise a means of ESL instruction what will effectively teach this population of learners. Its purpose will be to develop a specialized ESL unit plan to specifically address illiteracy/low-literacy in adult refugee populations who have never gone to school.

Book Synopsis Teaching English to Adult Immigrants by : Temesghen (Thomas) Beyene
Download or read book Teaching English to Adult Immigrants written by Temesghen (Thomas) Beyene and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the disciplines of Adult Education, Second Language Acquisition, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, there is something that frequently gets overlooked: The aspect of learning styles. Adults, particularly those who are refugees and immigrants bring to bear "baggage" that would either hinder or help them in their acculturation, language acquisition, and general training processes. Educators will find this work very helpful as they endeavor to deliver to such segments of the learning public. This work also raises teachers' awareness of some universal sensitivities immigrants and refugees seem to bring into the classroom. The author, an educator with first hand experience himself, offers some fresh perspective and insight into attaining maximum results when dealing with the challenges of training and advancement of refugees and immigrants in general.

This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive education retains significant complexity associated with creating a definition, and there is significant importance within the surrounding narratives reflecting the broader definitions. Due to the flexibility within the definition, investigating current practices across an array of definitions becomes essential to developing best practices in special education.

It reports recent research that focuses on the experiences of teachers and students in classrooms and ways of enhancing the practices of inservice teachers and early career teachers, as well as the preparation of preservice teachers. Besides presenting research from these perspectives, it also addresses a selection of broader issues that impact on policy and curriculum, thus identifying related concerns, including those of the wider community. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as learning disabilities, student mobility, and early childhood education, this publication is ideal for researchers, professionals, administrators, curriculum designers, academicians, policymakers, and students.
