This paper studies the techniques of one exceptional ESL teacher in a middle school. Five years of continuous instruction in one school with one principal is unusual for an ESL professional as teaching techniques can be developed and refined in an uninterrupted fashion.

Since 2005, Pitt Community College (PCC) has participated in Project IDEAL (Improving Distance Education for Adult Learners), which is a consortium of states working to develop effective and high-quality distance education programs for adult learners through joint research and practice. In the fall of 2012, to enhance Project IDEAL’s programming, PCC offered advanced ESL students an opportunity to enroll in SkillsTutor (ST), an online program of study by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The initial assessment used for recruitment into the transition class was CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System). According to PCC ESL Coordinator, Jan Fisher, “Many of the advanced students are trying to transition from ESL to GED (General Education Development) …and there is a need for a transitional course to help these students cross that bridge, so this year we offered SkillsTutor as an online class to our ESL students� (J. Fisher, personal communication, October 15, 2012). To facilitate the transition from ESL to GED, PCC also offered ESL students a choice between ST online-only and ST hybrid (online and 4 hour/week face-to-face class). The purpose of this research project was to determine the benefits of a face-to-face (F2F) support mathematics class for Project IDEAL PCC Advanced-level Adult ESL students enrolled ST and to answer the question: What is the potential for a F2F hybrid support mathematics class to benefit and facilitate learning for qualified students transitioning from ESL to GED? Answers came from researcher-generated questionnaires, instructor observations, and pre/post test results.

Teaching Strategies to Help EAP Learners
Wilder, Paula

Education
TALGS
Although English grammar and mechanics do pose problems for EAP learners, one of the greatest challenge these learners face rests with the cultural differences in the organizational expectations of an academic essay. Specific teaching strategies exist, such as pre-writing, revising, and providing feedback, which will not invalidate other cultures but help students overcome cultural writing barriers.
