Hi,

The NIFL ESL Special Collection continues to grow.  In October, there were more than a dozen, high-quality, peer-reviewed materials added.  The Collection now includes:

Bright Ideas: A Growing Body of Useful Information
The Bright Ideas project builds on and extends practical research in how adults best learn English and how programs can implement promising practices. The variety of products on this site include learning materials for students, tips for teachers, and assorted papers of use to teachers, policy makers, and other researchers in the field. (added 10/30/03)

Talking with the Police: An English Language and Civics Workbook
The workbook is designed for use with immigrant populations that may be scared of talking with authority figures like the police. This downloadable curriculum is targeted for high beginner/low intermediate students, but includes material that may be relevant to immigrants at all levels. (added 10/10/03)

Picture Stories for Adult ESL Health Literacy
Kate Singleton, ESL educator from Fairfax County, continues to add downloadable picture stories to her online health literacy collection. These classroom activities address topics such as depression, proper medicine dosage, nutrition and exercise issues for adults and children, emergencies, making appointments, and dealing with stress and domestic abuse. (added 10/30/03)

You can find these materials (and over 150 others) at the ESL Special Collection at www.literacynet.org/esl. 

Peace,

Matthew Scelza

Project Director, ESL Special Collection
