This creative project details a series of ESL conversational materials for in-class usage. Emphasizing relevance, communicative need, and social register, the series of taped dialogues, readings, and activities provides authentic language experiences for ESL students at any proficiency level. Each of the seven functional units centers on communicative needs which the students share as newcomers to the U.S. This format affords students a pertinent context in which they can begin to communicate immediately in the target language.Throughout the tapes, the students come to learn that the more one listens to a person and watches that person communicate, the more one will understand that person's responses to life. Thus the students can improve their ability to communicate effectively--to express themselves as well as understand others in an English-speaking environment. |
