Description This alternative delivery professional development opportunity is for all ESOL teachers and directors. Cultural Orientation for Refugees: A Handbook for U.S. Trainers (Handbook) This handbook, produced by the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), is designed for providers of cultural orientation (CO) who may be working with individual refugees or refugee families in groups, workshops, or in the ESL classroom. It is written with new cultlural orientation staff members or volunteers in mind but also provides sufficient materials that will be helpful to the seasoned teacher. The four sections of the handbook cover, 1) a brief history of CO and CO today, 2) cultural aspects of CO and CO in practice (a must read!), 3) CO lesson plans, and 4) CO resources. A New Day: Refugee Families in the United States and Be Who You Are: Refugee Youth in the United States (Video) The videos are created to assist refugees and refugee providers in learning about adjustment of refugee families and youth to their new lives in the United States. Topics include: family adjustment, discipline, school life, home life, and learning English. Total running time is 35 minutes. The activity involves the following steps: 1) Read the sections of the handbook that are most appropriate for you and your program needs. 2) Watch the videos. 3) Write a reaction paper focusing on how the information presented in the handbook and videos can be utilized in your teaching situation or program. 4) Return the materials with your reaction paper and a signed stipend request/evaluation form ($30) and a certificate of completion will be send to you.
