Authentic Integrated Content Based Instruction ... Phew! That's a Mouthful!

As an ESL teacher at an Intensive English Program, I am a huge believer in three primary pedagogical approaches: authentic student products, integrated curriculum and content based instruction. So what I try to do in my classes is assure all these things happen, and I do it with e-portfolio blogs.

Simply, these where we take student products from all skill areas (reading, writing, listening and speaking and grammar), put them in a portfolio that we then publish online. I will explain this in more detail below the jump, but I encourage you to first browse (by clicking the photo) what we have done for my Level 4 (high intermediate) students this summer.
