http://chris-sfl.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Skills for Life Blog. Thursday, January 22, 2009. At last I've done my long promised. Review of ESOL Blogs. I've added a few new entries on the Blogs. Page of the Skills for Life Website. I decided not add a lot of links for a number of reasons including:. There are a lot of ESOL (or EFL/ESL) blogs out there, and it's not at all easy to choose between them. So I have only included ones I follow (in Pageflakes. Or ones that made a special impact. How to use blogs in a class. How to reflect on your teaching.

Skills for Life Blog: February 2009
http://chris-sfl.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Skills for Life Blog. Monday, February 9, 2009. I've added links for the newly enhanced BBC RAW. Site The current content is not particularly about literacy or numeracy; rather it is about basic computing and financial literacy. However, these are two topics that are never very far away from the literacy and numeracy classroom, even if they do not feature high on the Skills for Life curriculum. There is certainly some direct literacy and numeracy in there - I've noticed a module on percentages. Site whic...

Skills for Life Blog: September 2008

Skills for Life Blog. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Literacy and Literacy Support. I was asked over the summer what I do and I answered mechanically that I teach literacy to over 16s. However it has bothered me ever since that I’m not sure that that is still true. Sometimes, especially when I work a lot with dyslexic people, I wonder if I am really helping people get by on their courses without improving their literacy. Perhaps a literacy support teacher becomes an anti-literacy teacher. Our work is clea...

Skills for Life Blog. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. ESOL Scotland and Teachers TV. Both these sites have something of interest. Site is a new site, so the potential is not clear yet. It's a general portal site for Scotland. It does have now a raft of usable learning resources, many of which will be useful for literacy and those in .doc format will be easy to adapt. There are also some listening resources which may be useful in Literacy or ESOL Support. I'd been aware of the Teachers TV. Links to this post.

Skills for Life Blog. Friday, April 25, 2008. I've been reviewing the current state of literacy blogs, after 18 months of writing this. I haven't found a lot to add to previous findings but it is all listed on the blog page. Readers not familiar with the format of blogging will benefit from subscribing to RSS feeds and displaying these. There are a number of different ways of doing this. I like the look and feel of Google Reader. I have made, so anyone interested can see how easy it is to scan RSS feeds.
