Conceptual Framework for Teaching Civic Education in the Adult English as a Second Language Classroom
Adversario, Jan
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n175-176 p19-31 Fall-Win 2022
Civic education provides adult English learners with the tools to be able to actively engage in their communities. This knowledge allows them to gain agency, develop a sense of belongingness, and facilitate lifelong learning. However, teaching civic education can be challenging for instructors for many reasons, such as prioritizing on developing the learners' linguistic skills over their civic and citizenship knowledge. Thus, this article proposes a conceptual framework to incorporate civic education to the adult ESL classroom. Furthermore, it provides examples of relevant strategies and specific activities that illustrate the framework in action.
