A Socially Conscious
Approach
ESL/EFL Literacy
THEMES AND GOALS
How do you draw the attention of high intermediate level
ESL/EFL teenage students and improve literacy in your middle and high school
class? How can you, as a teacher, help youngsters achieve their dreams in a
harsh and changing world? Since many students are or will become workers one
day, they must be able to read the world, read the word, feel solidarity, and
help their families to make ends meet, and then some. This curriculum is designed
to raise the social “workers” consciousness of students while welcoming them to
the world of the written English word.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
Much material was collected from the American
Federation of Teachers (AFT), UNITE union, The Botto Labor Museum, Maquila
Solidarity Network, as well as a number of pedagogical and literary sources.
These learning tools may be video, music, literature, and handouts. I have
credited each individually. Much of the methodology employs the activities I
have outlined and expanded on in the “Good Old Hands-On Fun & Games for ESL
Literacy” section included before the unit plans. The Natural Approach, TPR,
generative word exercises, and sentence strips are used throughout. The
essential elements Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy
of the Oppressed are employed throughout the curriculum.
