OVERVIEW New English as a Second Language Grades 10–11–12 Resources

This list of English as a Second Language Grades 10–11–12 resources contains resources that have been authorized for use in Alberta schools. Alberta Learning selects and authorizes the best possible instructional materials for the implementation of approved programs of study. The resource authorization categories are student basic, student support or authorized teaching, and the status is noted for each resource.

Student Basic learning resources are those student learning resources authorized by Alberta Learning as the most appropriate for addressing the majority of outcomes of the course(s) or substantial components of the course(s); or the most appropriate for meeting general outcomes across two or more grade levels.

Student Support learning resources are those student learning resources authorized by Alberta Learning to assist in addressing some of the outcomes of the course(s) or components of the course(s); or to assist in meeting the outcomes across two or more grade levels.

Authorized Teaching resources are those teaching resources identified as the best available resources to support the implementation of programs of study and courses; they may be teacher guides to accompany student resources or teacher professional resources. The authorized teaching guides are listed with the student resources.

Note: Alberta Learning strongly recommends that teachers read all selections in the student resources and all activities in the teacher guides prior to using them with students. Careful consideration should be given to the sensitivities of both the student audience and the community.

SENIOR HIGH ESL PROGRAM ORGANIZATION (LEVELS) The Senior High English as a Second Language Program of Studies is organized into five levels. Level 1 is intended for students who are acquiring literacy for the first time or who have had

significant gaps in previous schooling.

Level 2 in intended for students who have little or no experience with English prior to entering Alberta schools.

Level 3 is intended for students who have some competency in English and need a program focused specifically on language development for academic learning.

Level 4 is intended for students who are able to succeed in most high school courses with consistent support in English language development for academic learning.

Level 5 students receive assistance with subject specific language development in a variety of ways, such as in learning centres, from peer coaching and with teacher assistance.

ORGANIZATION OF THE RESOURCE LIST

The list of English as a Second Language (ESL) authorized resources is organized in two parts: Part I: Resource List: Basic, Support, Teaching

Student basic resources followed by student support and authorized teaching resources are listed alphabetically. Each entry provides the following information:

• title of resource • copyright date • type of authorization • levels(s) authorized for • format • summary description of the resource • supplier name, order number and price.

Part II: Annotated Bibliography Listed Alphabetically by Title

Each of the resources in Part I has a corresponding annotation in Part II. Each annotation identifies:

• the ESL level(s) for which the resource is authorized, the category of authorization (student basic, student support or authorized teaching, and if authorized for another curricular area)

• the format of the resource (print, video, CD-ROM) by the use of icon • publisher information and notes where the resource is available. If a resource is a

part of a series, other authorized titles in the series are cross-referenced.

Jigsaw 289266 42.05Authorized Teaching Resource

This resource is based on the notion of the “jigsaw classroom,” which takes a cooperative approach to learning. The binder contains sixreproducible readings based on contemporary social issues such as pollution, immigration and industrial accidents. Each of the readings istold from four different perspectives. Students are assigned to small “jigsaw” groups. These groups are then rearranged into “expert” groups,with each group receiving a different part of the reading to discuss, interpret and summarize. Students then reconvene with their original jigsawgroups to communicate their findings, come up with a comprehensive understanding of the issue and answer various questions about thereading. The author makes effective use of headings, paragraph markers, captions and diagrams to guide the reader. Cooperative skills sheetsoffer students opportunities to develop both specific reading skills and effective learning strategies for group work. The resource was designedfor adolescent and adult learners who need to develop their reading and discussion skills for application across the curriculum. The readingsand activities are written at three different language levels, making the resource well suited for use in multilevel classes. The binder alsoincludes an extensive rationale for the jigsaw strategy and instructions for use.

Cautions:

• The resources include activities that ask students about their belief systems, which could lead to an invasion of privacy.• Each unit includes a chapter on follow-up. These additional materials have not been reviewed or authorized by Alberta Learning.• The moneylender story in the Bronze-level tape is stereotyped with some undesirable characteristics; this portrayal needs to be balanced withmore positive and diverse depictions. The tape also uses the chant “Solomon Grundy;” teachers may want to consider using an alternate.
