A wiggle room curriculum
Last year, Rob Sheppard found himself leading a large curriculum redesign for an adult ESOL programme in the US. Clocking in at six levels, from true beginner to high intermediate, aligned to the daunting College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) and integrating life skills such as digital literacy, financial literacy and civics—this was, by a long shot, the most complex curriculum project he'd ever faced.Read how flexibility or wiggle room helped.
Season poems
This unitis designed for teenage or adult learners at B1+ level to explore Dylan Thomas's poems on the theme of seasons. It gives students the opportunity to explore the language in the poems from the poetic and the grammatical points of view. It will help students expand their vocabulary, with a focus on word formation and different uses of '-ing', and give them the opportunity to do some creative writing.
