CiNii Books - ESOL and citizenship : a teachers' guide

This authoritative teachers' guide makes a unique contribution to the provision and practice of ESOL and citizenship for adults and is an essential source of information for all ESOL teachers, managers, student and learning advisers and those working in the voluntary sector. The book presents an account of the political and media context of the current debates around citizenship, immigration and naturalisation, and after a critical discussion on terminologies and definitions, focuses on teaching and learning ESOL in the context of citizenship, providing practical information on preparation for the UK citizenship test and the application process. The author advocates a learner-centred approach, and the text includes many examples of good practice: ideas on learning activities for citizenship using local materials and real resources, and describes varying models of stand-alone and integrated provision.
