IATEFL Conference ESOL SIG 31 March 2009 ES(O)L teachers face challenges every day in the classroom with groups from diverse backgrounds, such as migrant workers and refugees from all over the world, who bring with them specific needs and differing learning experience and spiky abilities in skills. Which fresh perspectives and innovative practices can teachers of ES(O)L try out in their own classrooms to help meet these challenges? Which new activities, approaches and new points of view on old concerns can help us improve the experience and success of our learners? The pre-conference event will push the boundaries of the ES(O)L classroom and provide participants with the chance to explore ideas, insights and issues with classroom application, that are equally relevant to our Welsh-language teaching colleagues, including … - Skills teaching, particularly listening and pronunciation - Benefits from integrating citizenship and content into classes - What works best with materials? - Teaching ES(O)L learners lacking literacy skills in their own language - Working with ESOL for work skills - Supporting learners on academic and vocational courses The programme is attached
