Reaching Refugees: ESL Teacher Tips

Welcome! If you teach or tutor refugees, young or old, than you’ve come to the right place. Several years ago, I worked as a Case Manager in refugee resettlement. Though brief, this experience was the catalyst that started me on my journey as an ESL instructor and current graduate student in the field of Foreign Language Education/TESOL. It is my hope that this blog may serve as a place for educators to network with one another in the service of refugee students.

National Geographic Lesson Plans

As I was browsing my friend Regina's website, I noticed a link to free lesson plans from National Geographic. National Geographic, producers of the award winning documentary film "God Grew Tired of Us, have provided high school and adult ESL teachers with a fabulous online bank of lesson plans. Even greater still, National Geographic teaches geography related content to students via the refugee perspective in a lesson plan entitled "Through the Eyes of a Refugee." Click here to find National Geographic lesson plans or find the link listed under "Resources."

Hey Kathleen! Enjoyed this site. It has detailed lesson plans for different grade levels. I think teaching geography is one way to teach both the content and the language. Thanks for sharing!
