Thinking Out Loud: Teacher, Student, and Tutor Editions

(View Complete Item Description)

This advanced pronunciation course builds on a student’s basic understanding of the sounds and speech patterns of English with a focus on suprasegmental skills, such as stress, thought groups, intonation, linking, and phonological changes. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to apply the process of developing pronunciation skills and be able to identify and correct pronunciation problems in order to produce clearly understandable English in an academic setting. One special feature is the inclusion of meaningful scripts and prompts for pronunciation diagnostics and practice that incorporate themes from Tema Okun’s descriptions of characteristics of white supremacy culture. These ideas, therefore, provide meaningful topics in which to explore our cultures and ourselves. They provide motivation for communication practice.

ESOL Course Layout: Level 2 Integrated Skills

(View Complete Item Description)

The following is a course layout for Spring terms of ESOL 20: Level 2 Integrated Skills. It is based on the OER Entry into English 2 by Penny Jahrous and Sara Packer. All activity links are either from Entry into English 2 by Penny Jahrous and Sara Packer licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. This class plan is based on using Theme 3 for Spring terms. I assigned one theme to each term because each theme covers the assigned grammar breakdowns for Southeast Campus based on the units of the English in Action 2, 3rd Edition textbook. I supplemented Weeks 1&2 with materials from Entry into English 2 Theme 1 and materials I created. Those weeks are fully backward planned as an example of how to use EIE2 to meet course objectives. For Weeks 3-10, I broke down Theme 3 week by week. All instructors: This course layout is intended for a 9-hour/week, 10 week term. The content of Entry into English 2 can be easily spread over 3 terms.
