ELSP Method of Instruction<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
CPU ELSP provides varied classes focused on development of general English language skills.
These classes usually address English language skills development in the context of topics or functions of daily life, such as going to the doctor\u2019s office, shopping, or visiting a museum. Giving students the opportunity to interact with the teacher and with each other, planning instruction around tasks that promote field trips, outdoor activities, and teaching language forms in the context of meaningful learning activities are applications of second language research to the classroom environment.
CPU ELSP employs several different approaches to language acquisition and ELSP techniques that match the diverse needs, motivations, and goals of the learners and provide opportunities for interaction, problem solving, and task-based learning where learners can use English.
CPU ELSP teachers use technology both as an instructional tool such as integrating multimedia packages and PowerPoint presentations into instruction and as instructional content itself for example learning word processing programs, using the Web to access information, and using English through email communications, watching document films, movies and dramas. ELSP teachers use technology to expand or individualize learning inside and outside the classroom in accordance with learners\u2019 language proficiency, preferences, and needs and to potentially reach learners for individualized activity stations and self-access learning labs.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
