Abstract:
A short, free, authentic professional development video for teachers in which an adult ESOL teacher, basing his lesson on Stephen Krashen's theory of natural language, creates a relaxed atmosphere for language learning, lowering the affective filter- to help students take risks in learning the new language. He includes American baseball as content because some of the students had said they want to better understand the game. The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=76

In 2014, Texas transferred the AEFLA program to the Texas Workforce Commission ushering in a new era for adult education and bringing the program in line with student, community and stakeholder demand. Texas began building a Career Pathway system to serve adult education participants with new opportunities across the state. Through a tiered design of pathways into postsecondary, integrated education and training, specialized ESL programs for foreign trained professionals, or workplace literacy in partnership with employers, Texas launched a statewide effort to drive increased student success for college and employment outcomes. The Texas state director and career pathway lead outline the strategic model and driving factors in the system transformation. Detail on the statewide system design, core program components, models of implementation, integration dynamics, and the process for documenting practice across a diverse provider system of 34 entities. as included.

Abstract:
About 59% of adult education students function between 4th and 9th grade. In order to have efficient success with these “middle-level” learners, programs need systems and methods designed specifically for these students. These learners (4th-9th) require a special strategy. Each student requires an effective individualized approach for their specific academic and emotional needs. Instructional systems in the middle levels can impact long-term success by ensuring fluency of basic skills competencies before advancement, developing independence and confidence, and by incorporating time into instruction and assessment. Join this session to explore methods from Pace Learning Systems designed specifically for the middle-level learner since 1977.

LINCS now offers materials created by the ESL Pro project to improve adult ELL instruction in three areas: increasing the rigor of instruction, integrating digital literacy into English language instruction, and connecting adult ESL learners to career pathways. Materials include issue briefs, teacher-focused instructional resources in a digital magazine format, and online learning modules on each of the topics. The roles of both teachers and administrators are addressed in each module. Preview the materials, hear how materials are being used, and consider how they might be used in your program or state.
