The following curriculum framework and pacing guide outlines On the Job English II of Literacy Volunteers’ fifth EL/Civics session, which began in early January, 2002. Like On the Job English I, this session emphasizes conversational activities, grammar and life skills while integrating computer and Internet skills into the session curriculum. Users will find below a short description of each lesson and an accompanying timeline for this class of intermediate level English learners. Virtually all of the materials and activities described here are easily adapted to meet the needs of learners at other levels of competency.
Detailed descriptions of the lessons used throughout this session may be found by going to the E/L Civics Complete Lesson Plan Index and clicking on the appropriate subject. Tutors with questions about this session's activities, their sequence or how to apply them to single- and paired–learner environments may call the Literacy Volunteers ESOL coordinator at 265-9339, Mondays through Fridays, or use e-mail anytime.
