Do they tutor one-on-one, small groups, large groups? At TVCC, we have a situation which makes native language instruction difficult to plan. #1 we don't have huge numbers. We might have 20 students enrolled but they come only when they can, due to work schedules. So you only have 2 or 3 at at time. Then, among those 2 or 3, there can be widely differing levels. We end up individualizing most of our instruction, which is good. >>> mquiroga <mquiroga@unionsett.org> 10/06/03 12:46PM >>> Hi Mona : Welcome to the Commitee for Basic Education in Spanish (CEBE) For more than 20 years , adult education providers have been offering BENL or Basic Education in Native Language to Spanish and Haitian Creole students in New York . Even though our population is increasing ,our classes have been reduced . Our population , as in your case ,enroll in GED or Pre- GED classes , but many belong to lower levels . We can provide you with lists of materials that teachers use succesfully, as well as with sugested techniques. With the very low levels it's important to work one on one ,but there are as many varieties as there are teachers and students. We are now preparing a guide for Spanish Pre-GED teachers and we will be happy to share our work with you. You also can contact us at Union Settlement Association , Adult Education Program. 237 East 104th street . N.Y. N.Y. 10029. Att.
