Description

Series Overview What are the most important technology skills adult ESOL students (and teachers) need to develop in preparation for family, career, and post-secondary success? What are some ways the practice of these skills can be integrated into existing instruction? This four-part series on Digital Literacy for ESOL Instruction will explore these questions and some promising answers. Participants will spend time learning about tools and methods they can use with their students, develop a plan on how to integrate what they have learned, and then take time to try out their plans before a final face-to-face workshop in which participants will report back on their experiences and learn from each other’s challenges and success.

Session 2: Integrating Computer Based Testing Skills in Adult Education

This workshop will explore how laptops and mobile devices can be used to develop and practice digital literacy skills that support language acquisition. We will discuss how to integrate technology tools and skills into ESOL lessons that participants already do with their students. Participants will then create a lesson plan to incorporate their choice of skills and technology tools, and put that lesson plan into practice over the subsequent 5 weeks.
