Resources for English as a Second Language Teachers
Angliss Neighbourhood House and Yarraville Community Centre have developed some interesting and useful resources for ESL learners.
Looking outside the Square provides a huge list of available resources, as well as numerous of activities, units of work, games and information on a PD session run for teachers. The resources were developed in response to feedback from teachers who indicated that there was a scarcity of relevant and affordable learning materials and resources for pre-literate students.
Nutrition-Food access and Well-being
This curriculum and associated materials are linked to the ESL Frameworks unit Health and Safety and covers ten units. The units include information, activities, work sheets, resources, further information, and healthy recipes!
The Coles Group Community Fund funded this project.
The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities
The activities in this curriculum have been developed to demystify and to contribute to English as a second language students understanding of the Charter. There are multi level activities relating to real-life scenarios related to the charter, discussion. Activities include comprehension, grammar vocabulary and spelling and are linked to the ESL frameworks.
Funding for the project was from the Victorian and Equal Opportunity Commission
Problem Gambling Kit
Learning the Ropes was developed because of findings that the city of Maribyrnong continues to have the highest per capita loss from pokies of any other council.
Activities have been matched to corresponding outcomes in ESL Frameworks, Level 1 Access. The activities and material are open ended and are therefore easily modified to meet the specific outcomes of Entry level or extended to meet the outcomes of Level 2. They can also be adapted to other courses – ie Certificate in General Education for Adults and Certificate in Spoken and Written English.
All of the curriculums and resource material cost $15 per CD.
