Its simple format, easy-to-use photo dictionary lessons, and dynamic communication activities offer students a lively and motivating introduction to basic English for essential life skills. The program builds a language foundation to prepare students for future success at the Book 1 level of instruction. For additional vocabulary enrichment, Foundations correlates unit-by-unit with the Word by Word Basic Picture Dictionary. The text and accompanying workbooks provide a careful research-based sequence of lessons that integrates vocabulary, life skills, and a gentle introduction to very basic grammar. Standards-based lessons are designed to help students develop key competencies included in CASAS, BEST Plus, EFF, SCANS, California Model Standards, Florida Adult ESOL Competencies, and other national, state, and local curriculum frameworks and assessment systems. A Scope & Sequence chart on the pages that follow includes a correlation to key curriculum standards and frameworks. Program Components The Foundations Student Book offers fifteen standards-based units organized by topics and integrating all-skills language instruction with essential life skills. The Activity Workbook provides valuable supplemental practice with vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, numeracy, and test preparation (Audio CDs included). The Literacy Workbook offers fundamental practice with the alphabet, letter and number formation, and basic reading, writing, and listening skillsideal support for literacy-level students in multi-level beginning classes (Audio CD included). This Teachers Guide with Tests & Multilevel Activity CD-ROM offers step-by-step teaching strategies, multilevel expansion activities, and hundreds of reproducible CD-ROM files containing activity masters, tests, evidence-based reading instruction activities, and worksheets. (A complete description of the Teachers Guide and CD-ROM features follows below.) The Audio Program for the student book includes word practice with vocabulary in the unit-opening photo dictionary lessons, speaking practice with all conversations, and recordings for all listening activities (on Audio CDs and Cassettes). Vocabulary Photo Cards are a motivating visual resource for vocabulary practice, pair work, group activities, and games. Color Transparencies of full-page illustrations in unit review lessons stimulate active full-class vocabulary practice and lively class discussions, games, and other activities. Student Book Overview Photo Dictionary Lessons Each unit of Foundations begins with a two- page Vocabulary Preview in an easy-to-use photo dictionary format. These lessons offer students a clear visual reference and study tool for previewing and mastering more than 350 key words that occur in the unitsespecially helpful preparation for the beginning-literacy and low-beginning learner. Two-Page Lesson Format The core lessons in each unit follow a convenient two- page lesson format that is consistent and predictable and that provides sufficient practice for students to achieve the lesson objectives. This format is specifically designed to provide a successful learning experience for students with limited prior experience using a textbook. Guided Conversations Guided conversations are the dialogs and exercises that are the essential learning devices in Foundations. Model conversations depict situations in which people use the key vocabulary of each lesson. In the exercises that follow, pairs of students create their own conversations by placing new vocabulary items into the framework of the model. Highlighted words in color and skeletal dialogs with blanks help students focus on key vocabulary and practice new conversations. Follow-Up Exercises and Activities After each lessons guided conversation practice, follow-up exercises and activities provide all-skills practice and lively learning through action. Language in Motion activities get students moving around the classroom as they pantomime actions, ask each other questions, gather information, and do other movement activities. Games motivate active learning through small- group and full-class practice designed to stimulate classroom interaction. Writing activities offer basic practice with authentic life-skill writing tasks. Listening exercises develop students aural comprehension skills. (An audio program is available, and listening scripts are provided in the appendix.) v i-xviii_Foundations_FM.indd v 3/20/07 4:43:00 PM Mini grammar lessons offer practice with key grammatical structures. (Grammar is not emphasized in Foundations; it is highlighted when basic structures are needed for communication practice.) Community Connections activities introduce civics topics related to community life and help students connect to community services. Numbers lessons in every unit provide a careful introduction to basic numeracy and math skills. Language Experience Journal writing activities prompt students to write basic sentences to apply each units vocabulary and topics to their own lives. Unit Activities Each unit ends with a series of activities designed to reinforce and build upon the language skills in the preceding lessons. Different Cultures, Different Ways sections provide photos from around the world to stimulate cross- cultural discussions about how peoples lives are different in other countries and cultures. Information Gap activities promote teamwork as students work in pairs to complete tasks by sharing information and cooperating. Vocabulary lists and Language Skill checklists help students review words they have learned and keep track of the skills they are developing. Full-page illustrations stimulate a range of vocabulary review activities and games for individual students, pairs, small groups, and the entire class. Suggested Teaching Strategies We encourage you, in using Foundations, to develop approaches and strategies that are compatible with your own teaching style and the needs and abilities of your students. You may find it helpful to incorporate some of the following suggestions. More specific step-by-step instructions for all lessons are provided in this Teachers Guide. Vocabulary Preview (Photo Dictionary lessons) 1. PREVIEW: Activate students prior knowledge of the vocabulary by having them look at the illustrations and identify the words they already know. 2. PRESENT: Point to each illustration or say its number, say the word, and have the class repeat it chorally and individually. (You can also play the word list on the Audio Program.) Check students understanding and pronunciation of the vocabulary. 3. PRACTICE: Have students practice as a class, in pairs, or in small groups. Say or write a word, and have students point to the item in their books or tell the number. Or, point to an illustration in the book or give the number, and have students say the word. (Additional activities and games customized for each Vocabulary Preview Lesson are provided in this Teachers Guide.) Guided Conversations 1. SETTING THE SCENE: Have students look at the model photograph in the book. Set the scene: Who are the people? What is the situation? 2. LISTENING: With books closed, have students listen to the model conversationpresented by you, by a pair of students, or on the audio program. Check students understanding of the situation and the vocabulary. 3. CLASS PRACTICE: With books still closed, model each line and have the whole class practice in unison. 4. READING: With books open, have students follow along as two students present the model. 5. PAIR PRACTICE: In pairs, have students practice the model conversation. 6. THE SKELETAL DIALOG: Write the skeletal dialog on the board. Fill in the replacement from Exercise 1 to show students how the guided conversation method works. Call on a few pairs of students to practice the new Exercise 1 dialog using the skeletal framework on the board. 7. VOCABULARY PRESENTATION: Present the new vocabulary words in the exercises. Point to the photograph of each item, say the word, and have the class repeat it chorally and individually. Check students understanding and pronunciation of the vocabulary. (You can also use the Vocabulary Preview lesson at the beginning of the unit if it contains these new words.) 8. EXERCISE PRACTICE: (optional) Have pairs of students simultaneously practice all the exercises. 9. EXERCISE PRESENTATIONS: Call on pairs of students to present their conversations to the class. Community Connections Have students do the activity individually, in pairs, or in small groups and then report back to the class. vi i-xviii_Foundations_FM.indd vi 3/20/07 4:43:02 PM Different Cultures, Different Ways Have students first work in pairs or small groups, reacting to the photographs and responding to the questions. Then have students share with the class what they have talked about. Put It Together! In these paired information gap activities, Student A has information that Student B doesnt have, and vice versa. Students ask each other questions in order to fill in the missing information. Language Experience Journal Have students begin a Language Experience Journal in a composition notebook. Depending on your students writing abilities, either have them write in their journals or dictate sentences for you to write. Then students should read what they have written to a classmate. (If time permits, you may also want to write a response in each students journal, reacting to what the student has written.) If you are keeping portfolios of students work, these journal entries serve as excellent examples of students progress in learning to write in English. Talk About It! (Full-Page Illustrations) Use the richly-detailed illustration to review the vocabulary and conversations in the unit. (Color overhead transparencies of these illustrations are also available.) Have students first work in pairs or small groups to talk about the illustration and answer the questions posed at the bottom of the page. Then discuss as a class. Students may enjoy practicing conversations based on the characters and situations and then presenting their conversations to the class. The Teachers Guide suggests a variety of activities and games customized for each full-page illustration lesson. Teachers Guide Overview Step-by-step teaching instructions for each lesson provide instructional strategies for using the text with students at a wide range of literacy and beginning levels. Timing suggestions help new and experienced teachers with lesson planning. Hundreds of multilevel games and communication activities create a lively, participatory classroom especially appropriate for low-beginners with a range of active learning styles. Unit achievement tests (provided as reproducible masters) assess learner progress and prepare students for success on standardized tests. An introduction to the test section offers suggestions for using the tests and strategies for developing students test-taking skills. An Activity Handbook provides a variety of games and activities for use with the Foundations Vocabulary Photo Cards. Multilevel Activity CD-ROM Overview The CD-ROM included with this Teachers Guide provides a wealth of downloadable, printable instructional resources for use with the Foundations program, including activity masters, tests, and an Activity Bank with hundreds of supplemental worksheets offering practice in preliteracy, literacy, evidence-based reading instruction, handwriting, vocabulary, and numeracy. These resources are organized in a set of convenient folders designed for easy access and flexible use. They may be reproduced for classroom use only in conjunction with the Foundations instructional program. Assessment Folder A Needs Assessment questionnaire in an easy pictorial format enables students to indicate their needs and interests to guide the teachers lesson planning. A Performance-Based Lesson Assessment form is a tool for evaluating and documenting student participation and performance with a simple scoring rubric. The form contains text fields that enable instructors to enter up to 23 student names prior to printing the form. (The full version of Adobe Acrobat is required in order to retain the names entered in form fields by saving the file. Saving forms without the full version of Adobe Acrobat will NOT retain the data within the form fields.) A Learner Progress Chart enables students to record their test scores and chart their progress. Tests Folder Unit Achievement Tests assess student progress and prepare students for standardized tests. Reproducible resources include a two-page test for each unit, listening scripts, an answer sheet, and an answer key. (For convenience, these tests also appear as reproducible masters in the Teachers Guide.) Teacher Notes about Testing offer suggestions for using the tests and strategies for developing students test-taking skills. vii i-xviii_Foundations_FM.indd vii 3/20/07 4:43:04 PM Activity Masters Activity Masters include ready-to-use word cards and activity sheets for the multilevel activities and games suggested throughout this Teachers Guide. Flash Cards and Labels Flash Cards on reproducible masters provide an economical vocabulary study tool for students. Classroom Labels with large print can be posted next to key classroom objects and furnishings. Worksheets Activity Bank Phonemic Awareness activities offer students systematic, explicit instruction in how to detect the individual speech sounds that make up words. Activities include phoneme isolation, phoneme identification, phoneme categorization, phoneme blending, and phoneme segmentation. Since this form of systematic instruction may be unfamiliar to many teachers, the CD-ROM includes step-by- step instructions for these activities. Basic Reading Practice activities provide evidence- based reading instruction in decoding, concepts of print (letters/words/sentences), and fluency. The decoding activities are phonics-based and introduce students to fundamental concepts and skills including short and long vowels, consonant blends, consonant digraphs, vowel digraphs, vowel diphthongs, and rhyming words. Teacher instructions are provided for these activities. Preliteracy Practice worksheets are designed for students who do not have basic literacy skills in any language. The worksheets provide a careful sequence of instruction that develops basic preliteracy concepts and skills, including identification of same and different shapes, sizes, and alphabet letters. Pre-Writing worksheets offer practice with basic elements of letter formation, and Basic Writing worksheets provide tracing and copying practice with upper case letters, lower case letters, and numbers. Literacy Practice worksheets develop students letter recognition and word recognition skills through common picture-based literacy-level test formats. Vocabulary Practice worksheets review key unit vocabulary through a variety of exercise formats including word choice, sentence completion, and cloze reading. Students also practice common abbreviations and word categorization. Handwriting Practice worksheets help learners master manuscript and cursive letter formation through tracing and copying activities. Number Practice worksheets develop students numeracy skills and provide tracing and copying practice with numerals. Resources by Unit Folder For convenience and ease-of-use, all resources that are organized by type in their respective folders may also be accessed by unit. Instructors can therefore find the various resources related to a specific unit in one convenient folder. Hours of Instruction The Foundations program is designed to provide 90 225+ hours of classroom instruction in low intensity programs and up to 450 hours of instruction in high intensity programs (i.e., programs offering more than 15 hours of class time per week). Programs can adapt their use of the Student Book, Activity and Literacy Workbooks, Teachers Guide suggestions, and CD- ROM resources to meet the requirements of their program schedules as well as to meet the needs and availability of their students. 90120 hours: The Student Book serves as the main instructional resource. Teachers should use the Getting Ready activities suggested in this Teachers Guide as needed to prepare students for the lessons. As time permits, teachers should consider using at least one Expansion Activity to reinforce or review a lesson before moving on to the next lesson in the text. The Activity and Literacy Workbooks should be used primarily outside of class. The Workbooks include Answer Keys and Audio CDs in order to serve as effective home-study materials that extend classroom learning and promote student persistence. The various worksheets provided on the Multilevel Activity CD-ROM can be used as additional take- home work. These worksheets are also ideal materials for students to use with a tutor or other helper outside of class. (Average class time per unit: 68 hours. Not recommended.) 120165 hours: The Student Book lessons should be introduced using the Getting Ready activities in this Teachers Guide, and one or more Expansion Activities should be used to reinforce or review each lesson. Students will need to do most supplementary Workbook practice outside of class, but there should be some class time available to go over the homework together. Many teachers prefer to at least do the Workbook listening activities during class time. The worksheets on the Multilevel Activity CD-ROM can be used at home, with a tutor or helper, or during class as time and resources permit. (Average class time per unit: 811 hours. Recommended for low-beginning viii i-xviii_Foundations_FM.indd viii 3/20/07 4:43:06 PM level classes. Beginning-literacy level classes would benefit from additional hours if available.) 165225 hours: This is a more appropriate range of hours of instruction for low intensity programs. The Student Book lessons should be introduced using the Getting Ready activities, at least one Expansion Activity should be used to reinforce a lesson, and another Expansion Activity should be used in a subsequent class as time permits in order to consolidate student mastery of the lesson. Some supplementary Workbook practice can occur in class, and some practice should occur at home. Some of the worksheets on the Multilevel Activity CD-ROM should be used during class time as appropriate, while other worksheets can be used as additional take-home work. (Average class time per unit: 1115 hours. Recommended.) 225450 hours: A high intensity program providing more than 15 hours of instruction per week for a total of 225450 hours should provide sufficient class time for comprehensive use of all components of Foundations. This should include many of the activities recommended in the Teachers Guide and allow adequate class time for completion of Workbook practice and use of most worksheets on the Multilevel Activity CD-ROM, including some individualized, pair, and small- group instruction during class time. (Average class time per unit: 1530 hours. Optimal.) Intensity and Duration of Instruction Beginning-literacy and low-beginning students clearly benefit from a maximum number of hours of instruction per week, but ironically, these students are often enrolled in under-resourced programs that can only provide minimal hours of classroom time. These students life circumstances and work requirements also commonly prevent them from attending language classes as intensively and frequently as they would like. As noted in the above section, 165225 hours of instruction is a reasonable time range to allow students in low intensity programs at this level to make progress and to be able to demonstrate learning gains through testing. Programs that are unable to offer this amount of instruction in a program term should consider spreading the Beginning Literacy or Low Beginning curriculum over two terms instead of one, thereby doubling the duration of this level of instruction to partially compensate for the lesser intensity of the instruction. If you need to advocate for this, you should consider providing your program administrator or funding agency with a complete set of the Foundations program components in order to demonstrate the extent of the learning challenge facing students at this level. In conclusion, we have attempted to offer students of English at the beginning-literacy and low- beginning level a communicative, meaningful, and lively way of learning the basic vocabulary and language they need to communicate in essential life- skill situations. Through listening, speaking, reading, writing, discussion, movement, games, and other activities, our goal has been to meet the needs of students with different learning styles and particular abilities and strengths. While conveying to you the substance of Foundations, we hope that we have also conveyed the spirit: that instruction in basic language, vocabulary, and life skills can be dynamic and interactive . . . responsive to our students differing learning styles . . . relevant to our students lives . . . and fun!
