A New Opportunity: Using Standards to Enhance Speaking and Listening Instruction in ESL
This session grappled with how content standards help us to teach the vital speaking and listening skills our learners need; identified ways in which the CCRS Speaking and Listening standards and the TIF Effective Communication skills are already being addressed in ESL classrooms; and identified the ways we can use content standards to boost rigor in our classes and improve the oral language demanded of our learners in today’s world.
Academic Language & Skills Are Everybody’s Business in ABE!
