Jackie Bronkie & Victoria Toste FFLA 10/16/15 “So what do I teach if my textbook is just a resource tool?” Content-based WL instruction Using Authentic Resources Jackie Bronkie & Victoria Toste FFLA 10/16/15
The Role of the Textbook The Textbook is a framework for curriculum The Textbook has a fixed collection of resources The Textbook provides: A ‘cultural’ context with some content The vocabulary topic in the lesson Structures used in typical scenes of daily life pertaining to the topic For any given topic provided by the textbook, there are implicit Understandings.
