Recently I have been trying to arm my volunteer tutors with activities for their ESL lessons. I feel that I have found lots of good stuff like dictations, word puzzles, etc. but what I have realized is that a good context is missing from most of these activities. My program strives to be embedded with EFF principles including teaching in a purposeful, transparent, contextual, and constructivist way. However, I am having a problem finding good contextual activities or even ideas for modifying activities to make them contextual for our students. Any suggestions about context-based lessons/activities would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jennifer Morrow Johnson County Public Library Adult Learning Center (317) 738-4677 jmorrow@jcplin.org
