Language: English and Students

language: Pellerine has been working in the Middle East and Africa with populations of people he calls Migrant English Language Learners MELLs people who may find themselves working or studying in countries where English is the primary language, according to The Chronicle Herald. My main goal was to develop a teaching strategy using embedded visual arts he says. For Lower Sackville's Stephen Pellerine, he's using pictures to help his students become literate in one of the world's most difficult languages to learn English. I'd ask my students to take a digital camera and record a typical day in their lives. One of the positive results of this work was that his students picked up the English language more quickly than by using traditional literacy teaching techniques. Then I'd ask them to describe the things they photographed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
