This is the Adult ESL Literacy Resource
Survival Guide for Instructors

although it is meant for classes it has some super ideas in it.

Here is one

How to Boost Learner Self Esteem

Keep a portfolio of learner’s work. Let learners chose their best work for the portfolio, date each entry. Review the portfolio from time to time to show learners how they have progressed.

Use a self-assessment activity at the end of a week, month or unit. Have learners respond to a checklist. After doing a unit on health have learners check:
CAN YOU ...

YES

SOMETIMES

NO

spell body words
make an appointment
say you are sick
Do this orally and with graphic prompts. After, you can conference with your learners about their abiltities.

Give learners choices on activities. Do you want to read or write? Do you want to work in groups or pairs? Do you want to go on fieldtrip
