English Language Civics
Open the Civics Reporting Form
What is
EL Civics? Green River College has
been awarded an EL/Civics grant. Below you
will find classroom lesson materials and a list of
web sites and resource materials available on-line
to assist English for Speakers of Other Languages
(ESOL) teachers
with incorporating civic participation and
social justice issues into their
classrooms. The purpose of the English
Literacy and Civics Education (EL/Civics
Education) program is to support projects
that demonstrate effective practices in
providing, and increasing access to English
literacy programs linked to civics
education. EL/Civics Education instruction
goes far beyond the scope of the
naturalization process to integrate a
comprehensive civic participation component
into ESOL
instruction. EL/Civics projects stress
contextualized learning in which language
and literacy are developed through
practical, immediately relevant, thematic
units. Experiential learning concepts such
as the "classroom without walls" in which
students are actively engaged in community
pursuits are integrated into program
delivery.
We request that teachers report quarterly on
their use of classroom civics activities. Teachers
can use the link above to download the form itself
and then follow these
instructions on how to save the Civics Reporting Form to the N
Drive
