Darkness, and Things Fall Apart.
Writers’ Workshop
One year, two credits
This course is based on the workshop
model of study. It is specifically
designed to provide concentrated
and individualized
instruction in written composition
to prepare students for success in
work or in continued academic
study. In addition,
the use of technology is integrated
to enhance student skills for work
or continued education. Assignments
include
the basics of narrative, expository,
and persuasive writing. A secondary
focus of the course is individual
reading of
fiction and nonfiction works of
literature in order to encourage
life long learning.
In elementary and middle schools, it is quite common to have a wide variety of English language proficiencies
in bilingual and ESL classes. In the high schools, ESL classes are usually organized by levels of instruction:
beginning, intermediate, advanced, and transitional. The majority of high schools follow this model
although variations exist. Regardless of class organization models, there is a recognition at all grade levels that
second language acquisition is a process and that students progress through various acquisition stages at their
own pace. Teachers of ESL select specific methods and use specialized instructional materials to meet their
students’ needs.
In conclusions, the practice of the US schools highlights that (1) the schools have the hourly schedule adjusted
to the ELL students, (2) the classes are streamed in accordance to bilingual and ELL students, (3) both
bilingual and ELL students study world literature in translation. This approach is based on the long-term success
and proven outcomes of the methods.
Thereby, bicultural education comes as an integral part of teaching of Georgian to the GLL or bilingual
students, while it involves national literature as well as the world literatures in translation, as part of the national
culture.
