|
This paper is a curriculum proposal for a mid to high beginner adult English as a Second Language class . It is hoped that this curriculum will prove to meet students’ academic needs , especially in terms of development of literacy , listening skills , and language learning strategies . In addition to this , the lessons include a critical orientation ; that is , the class is structured to facilitate student engagement with social issues , namely racism and economic struggles . With these considerations in minds , two units comprising half the semester were developed and relevant extra materials are provided . |
