    Introduction

    The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, butthose who cannotlearn, unlearn, and relearn. - Alvin Toffler

    Foundation Phase of literacy (Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000: ESL for Literacy Learners) ischallenging for both students and instructors. Often these students and instructors face a multi-levelgroup containing Literacy Phase I/II students or even more advanced levels. In this situation thestudents may achieve some progress through activities in isolation that focus on reading readinessconcepts or basic mechanics of writing, but it would be better if they were working on the theme thattheir peers are working on. Materials in context keep adult learners interested, and motivates themduring the sometimes intimidating learning process. There are more than 400 worksheets in thisseries that cover 12 themes of interest to adult ESL learners (see Theme Index).

    Three general principles are followed in this book:

    Learning for Real Effective Repetition Multi-Level Reality

    Learning for RealReal-life application of what is learned in the classroom can work as fuel for Foundation students tocome to school eagerly every day especially when they are busy with life or the weather is harsh.After all, they have lived their life without school, so some strong motivation is needed to encouragethem to make the effort of being an adult student. Therefore, a valid social function of the materialintroduced in class is crucial when developing lesson plans.

    The classic themes of survival English are always needed, such as names, address, health card etc.Also, the more the instructor knows about her students, more relevant topics may emerge. I had astudent who was a stay-at-home mom of three young children. She was not keen to learn aboutailments or traffic signs as her husband drove her everywhere and would go to the doctors office

    with her. However, she did grocery shopping on her own. One day, she asked me during the break,Teacher, I buy food. I dont know. I realized she could not understand what the cashier asked herat the check-out. Nowadays, plastic bags are optional at the check-out and the cashier usually askswhether one is needed. When I was explaining it to her, she asked me to write box and bag onthe board and then she copied them down in her notebook. I was certain that she would practiseafter class so that next time she would be able to answer the cashiers question. For me, I got mynext days topic for the shared reading.

    The first half hour of a literacy class can be devoted to a shared reading that ties in with listeningand speaking. I usually write a 2-4 sentence dialogue on the board, which is generated fromstudents life experience or current school activities. For example:

    A: Do you need a bag?B: No, thanks.

    Depending on their level, Foundation students may get a worksheet to trace/copy part of thedialogue. Once they are finished and the written work gets checked, they will practise the dialoguewith a partner. When the students understand that they are studying something that can be appliedright after school or the next day, they are more engaged in the whole learning process. The 12 unitsin this series are based on themes related to adult ESL students daily life.

    Effective Repetition

    Cognitive neuroscience research has discovered three crucial memory enhancement processes thatinfluence the establishment of long-term memory: repetition of the procedure or information (Squire& Kandel, 2000), excitation at the time of learning (Phelps, 2006) and association of reward with thematerial to be learned (Wise, 2004). Even if the students are highly interested in the contextualizedmaterials for the early stage literacy skills (see Appendix A: Foundation Literacy Skills Assessment)the process requires repetition for retention. This can be as simple as copying a name/telephonenumber on each worksheet until the information can be recalled from memory or number dictation

    on a sample calendar (see Appendix D). At the same time, some challenging short-term memoryexercises can make the repetition more exciting.

    After the shared reading, short-term memory exercises are always welcomed by Foundationstudents. I erase the board but leave on the focused word for the day, in this case bag. I start byasking a student, whom I expect to be able to answer, How do you spell bag?. Assuming How doyou spell? is one of the sentences that has been taught. A chain drill can go around the class. Atfirst the students read the letters and spell the word. Then the first letter gets erased and replacedwith a line as a reminder, and the same chain drill takes place. There is a feeling of fulfillment asstudents go through the process from bag to _ a g to _ _ g to _ _ _. Later on, when the literacystudents are ready to take on a sentence level exercise, words in the focused structure of the

    dialogue can be replaced with lines as a variation of this activity:

    Students need to get familiar with regular classroom activities, including matching, underlining,crossing out, circling, checking boxes, sequencing, filling in blanks and playing different board orcard games with classmates. The activities in this series have a structured format and are repeatedin most of the units. The activities focus on the literacy skills of Foundation Phase (see LiteracyCompetency Index). In this way, both classroom routine activities and literacy skills are exercised

    and spiralled in each unit.

    To help the information sink in without boring the students, a variety of activities which addressdifferent learning styles make the repetition more exciting and effective. The activities in this seriescover all seven original multiple intelligences (Howard Gardner, 1983) including spatial, linguistic,logical, kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal and intrapersonal so that the students can approach theliteracy skills from different angles. For example, when introducing the concept of pattern with class-room objects (see Book 2 In the Classroom, Finishing The Patterns), the teacher may use soundassociated with these objects, such as crumpling a paper, erasing with an eraser, snapping closed abinder and tapping a pencil. These sounds help students understand what a pattern means in musicand is a different way to express a pattern other than pictures. There are more and more resources

    of sound online if internet access is not an issue at your school. Music that can be integrated into aFoundation lesson can be the change of pitch, volume or pace. For example, loud/soft sound ofdental drill, fast/slow rhythm of hand saw can always be universally understood by Foundationstudents from different backgrounds for the theme Jobs.

    Multi-Level Class Reality

    Even if the literacy students are lucky enough to have a separate class for their own, instead ofworking with CLB 1 or 2 groups, the Foundation students skill-sets can still be distinctive enough to

    A:Doyouneeda__?B:No,thanks. A:Do___needa___?B: No, thanks. A:__ __needa__?B: No, thanks.

    create a challenge for the instructor. One way to deal with the situation is to present tasks that all theliteracy students can do, such as signing in for attendance or organizing a binder etc. To encouragestudents to come to school regularly, a large weekly calendar with a class list hung in front of theclassroom is very helpful (see Appendix E). The month, week, days and dates can be made replace-able with either magnets or Velcro. Before the class starts, the students go and check their ownattendance under the date. However, no comments on punctuality or attendance should be made asthe students all have commitments as adults and may not be able to make it even though they havemade every effort to come to school on time and as often as they can.

    A way to handle a multi-level literacy group is to have a little application of operation research withsome prep. With the shared reading dialogue written on lined paper (see the last 2 worksheets ineach unit) with pencil, I am ready for my three groups. The Foundation Phase student can trace witha marker; Phase I students always enjoy copying on lined paper; the non-Roman alphabet ESLlearner usually can finish copying in a fraction of time of the others and then she has the opportunityto practise pronunciation with me, which gets her prepared for the following pair work.

    To ease the rush in a multi-level literacy class, students may get different tasks during the sameactivity. For example, when the teacher dictates a simple story Grandpa is 60 years old. (see BookOne - Family Tree), the pre-literate students may choose the correct picture from the flash cards,and the non-Roman alphabet ESL learners may make notes about the figure on lined paper. When

    taking up the activity, the teacher asks the Flash Card group to hold up the picture while the othergroup reads the numbers. Then the teacher can reconstruct the sentence drawn from both answersas a review. For example, Grandpa is 60 years old.

    Flash cards make a multi-level class come alive. Flash cards have become literacy classroomstaples and there are over 60 flash cards included in this series. Besides the traditional flashingtechnique, they can be used in more activities and be part of the effective repetition spiral in alesson. Some of them can be individual activities while the others can be a race against the clock, atimed activity, or a team competition, if the students like that kind of pressure. More importantly, thestudents should be able to take their time and enjoy the process. See Table 1 for a list of flash cardactivities suitable in a Foundation class.

    Table 1 - Foundation Flash Card Activities

    Activities Instructions

    Back and Forth It is useful to practise numbers. Students sequence number cards 1-6 and

    flash cards in response to what the teacher says. Then the teacher calls out

    a number and each student holds up their card or says what is in the

    picture.

    Charades Students take turns coming to the front. The teacher shows him/her a flash

    card. The student acts out what is in the picture. The rest of the group

    guess which card he/she is mimicking.

    Colouring Colouring flash cards not only exercises motor skills, but the teacher ends

    up with coloured cards ready to be posted on the bulletin board.

    Dictate Pic-

    Cloze

    Display flash cards on the teachers desk. Students work in pairs. One

    student comes to the desk, memorizes the sequence of the picture, then re-

    turns to his/her partner and tells them the sequence. His partner organizes

    their copies of flash cards or chooses the right picture on a worksheet (see

    Appendix F for a blank dictate-cloze sheet).

    Jigsaw Cut the flash cards into 2-4 pieces and ask students to put them back

    together (see Appendix C for a Jigsaw Puzzle Template).

    Memory 1 Display one set of flash cards on the desk, side by side, face down. In a

    nearby area, display another set of cards, side by side, also face down.

    Students take turns flipping over one card from each group. If they are the

    same, the student keeps both cards. If not, he/she puts them back face

    down. The game ends when all the cards are collected by students. The

    one with most cards wins.

    Memory 2 Place the flash cards of your choice on desks. Give the students a minute

    or two to memorize all the cards. Cover the cards and see how many they

    can remember.

    Memory 3 Place the flash cards on desks. Give the students a minute or two to

    memorize all the cards. Cover all the flash cards with a flipchart paper and

    then remove one. Students have to figure out which one is removed.

    Table 1 Continued - Foundation Flash Card Activities

    Puzzle

    Grouping

    Cut each flash card into 2-4 pieces and hand them out to your students.

    The students who hold the matched two pieces become partners working

    in a pair/group activity.

    Revealing Cover a flash card with a piece of paper and slowly reveal it until thestudents have guessed what picture it is.

    Short-memory

    Flashback

    Put 4 cards on the whiteboard and draw a grid around them. The teacher

    points to the cards in turn and the students say what is in the picture.

    Repeat this procedure a few times and then cover or remove the first card.

    Point to the blank grid and encourage the students to say the word of the

    removed flash card. Then finish reading every grid. Put the first one back

    in the grid and remove the second one. When the students are ready, the

    teacher can either remove more than one card at a time or hold cards in

    front of the empty grid asking the students to respond Yes or if the card

    is the correct one.

    Snap Shuffle two or three sets of the same flash cards and hand them out to

    students. They take turns drawing a card from their hand, saying what is

    on the card and then placing it in the middle of the desk. If a player draws

    a card the same as the previous one, the first player who shouts Snap!

    wins all the cards in the middle pile. The winner is the player who has all

    the cards.

    Stop the Rod Put a group of flash cards in a line on the whiteboard. Move a rod along

    the cards and give a clue to indicate a flash card. The clue can be as easy

    as showing another flash card that is same as one of those on the board.

    Students say Yes or Stop when the rod is above the correct flash card.

    Another way is for the teacher to give the students a verbal clue. For

    example, she tells the students to say Stop or Yes when the rod is

    above a triangle shape. Once the procedures are familiar, a student cancome to the front to move the rod.

    Story

    Sequencing

    Each student gets a card. The class listens to the teacher tell the story.

    Students put their picture onto to the whiteboard in the proper sequence.
