TESOL Resources from the Peace Corps

From http://www.peacecorps.gov/wws/educators/lessonplans/tesol

With their rich diversity of students from countries across the globe, today’s K-12 classrooms mirror the world. Many English Language Learners (ELLs) have cultural origins in countries where Peace Corps Volunteers have served. Here are some of the materials available from the Peace Corps:

Listening Skills
Students can listen to recordings of Peace Corps Volunteers talking by telephone with U.S. classrooms they've been communicating with through the Correspondence Match Program.

Reading Skills

Touching on academic subjects that are part of the curriculum for all students, these standards-based lessons also support language development for ELLs using prior knowledge and cultural context from stories written by Peace Corps Volunteers.
