DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a special workshop where a panel of our experienced ESL instructors will answer questions and provide teaching strategies for those who want to tutor adult English Language Learners. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone who’s interested in supporting refugees as they adapt to their new environment to learn about serving these motivated learners through basic\, effective language instruction.\n\nAgenda:\nOpening talk: Bita Edraki and John Safapour will provide an overview of Afghan culture and things tutors should keep in mind when working with refugees.\nBuilding Relationships\, Jen Kruger: Jen\, an ESL instructor\, will draw on her experiences working with level 1 learners to share strategies for creating a relationship that allows the learner to be receptive and ready to learn.\nSIOP Lesson Planning\, Dylan Warner: Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) is a research-based\, instructional model that is highly effective in addressing the academic needs of English learners. Dylan’s session will teach you how to prepare a lesson using SIOP principles.\nPre-literate/Non-literate ESL Resources\, Vicki Konzen: Vicki will share helpful resources for working with these English Language Learners\, including a list of materials available through KLC and free online resources.\nPronunciation\, Ila Baker: Ila\, MA-TESOL\, will walk us through strategies for tutors with no experience to help their learners with pronunciation.\nTo register\, visit https://bit.ly/3r1tUGw
