Teaching computers to students with limited English

HappyCarrot · 2009-10-08 10:30:32

I've recently started two classes doing FETAC L3 Computer Literacy with elementary level English students. They are also doing the L3 Language module. Is there anyone else out there doing this? I'd really love to exchange ideas and experiences if there is?

I'm doing some of that here in Bahrain.

Along with lecturing on a degree course, we also take classes at foundation level for students whose English would not be at the required standard for such a course.

We are lucky in so far as the students also do English as a subject (and maths), but after my first week, I have to say it is a challenge. Apparently, I talk too fast.

Not sure about students with limited English but I have taught that module to people who cannot read. Dont know if I can be of any help to you but ask your questions away there and I'll try to answer.
