 ENGLISH IN CONTEXT

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Mastery of basic language skills is the overarching goal of the English in
Context series. To this end, each of the six worktexts has been carefully designed to
begin at the beginning and gradually proceed along the skills continuum. The low
reading level (approximately 4.0) is consistent throughout the program.
The worktexts are appropriate for use with small groups, a full class, or by
independent learners. The self-explanatory nature of the lessons frees the teacher for
individual mentoring. Students from middle school through adult classes will appreciate
the variety of contextual themes, which include humor, amazing facts, historical
highlights, and excerpts from real-world documents and forms, as well as high-interest
material from academic content areas.
Both illustrations and graphic art are used to support the instruction and maintain
interest. A variety of puzzles, riddles, and games are intended to sharpen critical
thinking skills as they provide additional interest and amusement. A handy reference
guide at the back of each worktext promotes the invaluable habit of looking up a
verifying reference when usage is in doubt.

TEACHING THE PROGRAM

Make sure that every student has a dictionary close at hand. Many lessons refer the
student to a dictionary for the purpose of checking spelling, different forms of the
word, synonyms, etc.
Before passing out the worktexts for the first time, anticipate the negative attitudes
of students who have experienced little success in previous English studies. Point
out that all lessons are short and that examples provided can be used as models.
Ask students to read the worktext Introduction aloud, and then follow up with a
class discussion. Encourage students to expect success. For the first few lessons in
a worktext, ask a student volunteer to read the directions aloud while you observe
the other students, making certain that the instructions are understood.
Lesson extensions for homework and/or extra credit might include locating examples
of English in context in newspaper or magazine clippings, or creative writing
assignments such as making posters or charts, writing song lyrics or product
descriptions, or finding and recording examples of the focus skill from their basal
textbooks. Realia (actual business letters, operating instructions, classified ads,
etc.) are extremely effective for demonstrating the relevance and everyday application
of basic English skills.

3
 Challenge students to find errors in written materials from the real world. Offer
bonus grade points for examples of missing commas, incorrect capitalization,
grammar slip-ups, etc.
Riffle through each students worktext on a regular basis, checking to see that all
assigned lessons are completed. If you think it useful, conduct a short weekly answer-
checking session with the entire group. Keep an eye out for students who arent
making progress. Record unit review scores on the class record chart provided.
Students who are unable to keep pace with their classmates need individual evaluation.
Those having difficulty with the reading level could be assigned a peer tutor or
perhaps work together in a small group to thoroughly preview and follow up on
lessons that are causing them problems. Some ESL students need more oral language
practice before transitioning into an entire lesson presentation in print. All students
need continuing encouragement from the teacher as well as his or her unflagging
expectation of success.
As students proceed through the worktexts, periodically reinforce selected skills and
subskills in one of the following ways:
(1) Choose an entry from the reference guide, write it on the board, and ask students
to supply examples.
(2) Integrate basic English skills instruction in various content-area presentations
by asking questions about grammatical structure, interesting vocabulary, rule-
breaker spellings, or any exemplary written formats.
(3) Reinforce the correlation between spoken and written language by eliciting oral
responses to the types of questions asked in the worktext lessons, e.g., Can
anyone name the part of speech for each word in the chapter title?
