Title: Article: Florida Students Who Haven't Mastered English Are Casualties of Strict System
Body: From http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/education/os-orange-esol-students-20130525,0,5909916.story Students who haven't mastered English are casualties of strict system By Lauren Roth May 25, 2013 Across Orange County and the state, thousands of students such as those at Dr. Phillips are finding themselves lost in translation. They enter public school without fluency in English — and many never catch up. In Florida, 91 percent of English-language learners failed the 10th Grade Reading FCAT in 2012. Nearly two-thirds earned a Level 1 — the lowest possible score. In Orange County, the results were almost a carbon copy. "I am pained by the number of kids losing out on their futures because of this. It's tragic," said Joyce Nutta, an associate professor at the University of Central Florida who specializes in the education of students learning English. "There's so much more we could be doing." Nutta and others take issue with common practices in Orange County and elsewhere. For instance, English-language learners are likely to be lumped in classes with students who speak either far more or far less English than they do. They often have specialized help in only one class a day. And bilingual education, a method that researchers say produces better results than an English-only approach, is available only to a small number of students.

Title: Lesson Plan Based on NPR StoryCorps Selection: A Good Deed
Body: From http://elt-resourceful.com/2013/05/29/a-good-deed-free-downloadable-lesson Here is a free downloadable lesson, based around an authentic audio recording from Storycorps.com, where Virginia recalls a good deed her father did during the Great Depression in America. The lesson starts with a short text giving some background to the Depression of the 1930s, and invites students to think about parallels with the situation in some countries today and what can, or should be done by individuals and governments. Students then listen to the audio, which is quite short and simple, listening both for gist and specific information. There is then a focus on narrative tenses, specifically simple past and past perfect. This could work as part of an introduction to past perfect, or as a review at higher levels. Students then try to retell Virginia’s story, using tenses appropriately, before going on to tell their own ‘good deed’ stories. Download the lesson plan and listen to the story at http://elt-resourceful.com/2013/05/29/a-good-deed-free-downloadable-lesson
