What is a Real Life Language Learning Activity Anyway?
This project deals with developing Real-Life Language Learning Activities (ReLLLAs) for adult English as a second language (ESL) students. This unit will involve the creation and use of ReLLLAs, which can be described as an audio segment of some real-life situation that is applicable to an individual student. It could also be a short article or an interesting story. It is chosen or created by the teacher and is introduced in class. The adult ESL student will listen to this at home in a regular CD player and will have some related task to perform. Teacher will follow-up on this assignment in the following class. An additional benefit of this unit is the ability to include the teaching of local dialect and expressions in the language learning activities. What should I do next? For Individual Study – First, download and print the Self-Study Task Chart.
