Introduction
It has been 8 years since Phonics for Adult ESL Students was published and the
continuous support of the book from teachers whom I have or haven’t met inspired me
to put this second book together. It follows the same principles that were applied in the
first book, such as thematic units around LINC themes, effective repetition that
spirals, interactive components to reinforce phonics concepts and engagement of adult
learners’ analytical skills, which have been explained in the first book. Here I will only
list what is compatible with Canadian Language Benchmarks: ESL for Adult Literacy
Learners [CLB ESL for ALL] for lesson planning purposes.
Learners: This book is for the students who have mastered foundation literacy
skills and basic letter sound knowledge, such as initial consonants, final consonants, short
vowels and long vowels. They are ready to expand their vocabulary, work on sentence
structure and consonant blends and long/short vowel comparison in this book. The
materials would mostly benefit learners at CLB1L, CLB2L and CLB3L levels. As some
foundation students may have to be placed in a higher level group, there are also
worksheets for Foundation L students.
Real-world Tasks: The ultimate goal of learning any language is for real-world
application. Each unit in this book includes word level and sentence level activities to
build towards a practical reading or writing task, such as reading a library children’s
program schedule or following instructions on a simulated ATM machine. The assessment
tools are in PBLA- friendly (Portfolio Based Language Assessment) format.
Learning Strategies: Organizing one’s own unit tasks into the portfolio is a
Managing Learning strategy by itself to reflect on the learning experience. This book
also includes pair-work activities as a Working Together strategy and a word log option
as a Critical Thinking strategy when the students write words of their own choice on an
empty word log.
A Learning Cycle: Applying the “whole-part-whole” approach, each unit starts with
a mini-dialogue that would prompt group discussion and language experience sharing,
followed by various letter-sound recognition, vocabulary building, and sentence structure
exercises that will transfer to community application situations. Some post-activities
are also included to spiral the content and phonics focus, which can serve as a transition
from the reading/writing focus of the phonics unit to a potential listening/speaking
learning cycle after.
Thanks for including me in your students’ learning journey. It is always exciting to

see the students succeed in their lives with the new power they have gained through
language learning. And I believe that you and I, as teachers, can make their learning
experience more effective and enjoyable.
