CiSELT

This year we are running CiSELT in the centre for our teachers. We are running to course partly online and partly face-to-face. After some initial teething problems, everything seems to be going well, and the first assignments are to be uploaded by the end of next week.

Can you make your class disabled friendly?

There's not a lot of good class material out there that raises the issue of equality in the face of disabilities. However, here's one I can recommend: a lesson plan by Bren Brennan entitled Success or failure???

It's suitable for teenage+/ upper-intermediate+ and comes complete with student handout plus teacher's notes. As you might expect, the lesson get students to consider what makes somebody's life a success or a failure and focusses on a video of Nick Vujicic who talks about how he's faced life's challenges without arms and legs. Quite rousing stuff!

Also, take a look at the Disabled Access Friendly website which has lesson plans listed by CEF level and age group.
