| Title | Literature Facilitates Content-Based Instruction |
| Body | From: http://searchenglish.britishcouncil.org/SuggestFrame.asp?newURL='http:// rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/nov2707.htm'&UserID= Literature Facilitates Content-Based Instruction Gail August, Hostos Community College, City University of New York Assistant Professor in the Department of Language and Cognition Abstract: Besides teaching language skills, the community college ESL curriculum must also prepare students for further academic studies. Content-Based ESL is a methodology which teaches academic vocabulary, domain knowledge, and critical thinking in an ESL context. When students do not have sufficient reading skill to achieve the objectives of this curriculum, it can be supplemented with relevant young adult fiction. The combination of Content Based Instruction and childrens literature, written for an adolescent audience, is an effective strategy for improving the academic skills of adult ESL students. |
