Introduction
Picture This is a resource for ESL professionals who are teaching LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) classes in Canada, although teachers in regular ESL classes may also find the integrated photograph-lesson plan format valuable for their teaching. Teachers and students alike will appreciate that all photographs and lesson plans can be photocopied for use in the classroom. Our goal is to enhance the learning experience of new immigrants by partnering black-and-white photographs with relevant lesson plan activities. Teachers will find the photographs visually-interesting, reflect the full diversity of Canadian multicultural society and portray Canadians engaging in a wide range of everyday activities. Each of the 49 units in Picture This highlights one topic area covered within the LINC curriculum. Lesson plan activities are linked with the Speaking, Listening, Reading & Writing outcomes specified for LINC learners in the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). Sufficient as a stand-alone teaching unit, individual lesson plan activities and photographs can also be interchanged throughout the book as the instructor meets the needs of learners. Additionally, where the classroom instructor may prefer to utilize existing lesson plans, the photographs are an invaluable additional teaching resource in themselves. Picture This is a stepping stone for ESL professionals seeking a teaching resource that provides lesson planning flexibility, stimulates creative expression, and facilitates student awareness of Canada as a multicultural society. Lesson Format Each unit includes one or more photographs and a choice of Listening, Speaking, and Reading & Writing activities that are based on the unit topic. In some units, a sequence of two, three or four smaller photographs provide the instructor even greater flexibility in lesson planning and delivery. Lesson plan activities are designed for all levels of LINC learners, although the majority of units focus on learners at Levels 1 through 3. Where applicable, activities have been designed to incorporate a variety of learning styles. In addition, lesson plan activities are geared to the needs of adult learners and provide interesting, relevant and topical educational experiences. Each unit follows the same format. Within each unit, the instructors will find: Vocabulary & Expressions, Grammar skills to be covered, Materials required (including web page references, where applicable), a Warm-up Activity, and activities related to the four different skill areas (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing). When you see the symbol AP (in the right margin) it indicates that ready-to-go material is available in the index. The number indicates the appendix page number. Also included with Picture This is a 60 track listening CD. The CD is not reproducible. Permission All photographs are copyrighted to the author, except where otherwise noted. Lesson materials and photographs may be photocopied for use by the purchaser in his or her classroom. Wider distribution in the school or elsewhere requires permission of the publisher.
