I am working with a group of 8 programs in Maine this year.  All of the
programs are implementing EFF into their classrooms and programs.  Two of
the teachers work with very low ESL learners.  They have asked for ideas
using pictures to link to the EFF Framework.  Are there any ideas out there
that I might give to them?  Their learners are virtually non-English
speakers.

Thank you.

Shirley Wright

Good morning,

I have noticed recent discussion regarding ESL and EFF. Since many of =
you have now received the latest issue of the EFF Voice, I'd like to =
highlight two articles that specifically address ESL classrooms.

EFF in a Family Literacy Classroom (pages 7 - 9) focuses on a mixed ESL =
class. KT Lund, teacher from Central Oregon Community College =
illustrates how she used The EFF Standard Speak So Others Can Understand =
to design a learning activity.

Terry Kinzel, from Big Bend Community College explains how her teachers =
used the EFF Framework with ESL students in the article EFF Links =
Washington's Families That Work Initiative (pages 12 - 13).

Terry and KT shared their stories. Now why not share yours? What are =
some of the ways that you use EFF in your classroom? How do you design =
learning activities based on student needs and goals? How do you and =
your students assess progress?

By the way, if you do not have a hard copy of the EFF Voice, you can =
download a pdf version at =
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_publications.html

If you are not on our mailing list and would like to automatically =
receive our EFF Voice and HOT Topics publications when they are printed, =
send me an email at donnac@clinic.net.
