Synopsis

FUN Teens is fourth in the TRANSiTiONiNG Series of self-help books for English Speakers or English Language Learners with limited English proficiency. This book is part of a series of scholastic and academic development products for English Language Learners [ELLs]. The activities in this series have been designed with a special focus on providing self-help educational products for ELLs with limited English proficiency [LEP], which includes tweens, teens and those who have begun their first year of college. It offers the additional benefit of being written in a form that allows the learner to enlist the assistance of a ‘facilitator’: any Anglophone willing to help. The TRANSiTiONiNG Series is a motivational collection. This series sensitizes each learner to her or his choice of words by using situational vocabulary and occasionally inserting the colloquia -- common-speak word -- immediately following it. The indicator ‘cs’ precedes the colloquia. In this fourth book, the amount of colloquia indicators have been minimized to allow the learner to recall the higher level vocabulary learned in FUN Tweens. Additionally, icons have been included on each activity page. These icons are colorful and multi-dimensional to stimulate the learner’s thinking. The TRANSiTiONiNG Series was created, developed, and market tested in many states in northern and southern China during a 3 to 10 year period. During these years, massive amounts of middle and high school as well as college students struggled to achieve enough English language skills to attend high schools and colleges in America and other western, English-speaking countries. The market testing and verification phase of this series enabled the authors to identify the most effective content for this series. The activities included in this series were proven to be the most enjoyable while moving participants from theatrically-based memorization of English toward communicative English for general classroom and standard tertiary interaction as well as the most effective for the scholastic-specific development of individual listening, speaking and instructional reading skills.

À propos de l'auteur

I.A. Mohabier is the founder of icydorTM and ZIC as well as the primary author of the TRANSiTiONiNG Series. Icydor was born in the Cayman Islands and grew up in a New York suburb. In 2001, she established a Paralegal practice in Laguna, California that provided legal administrative services to social justice attorneys. She ventured into Jamaica for 2 years, Korea for 1 year and China's mainland for 10 years to search for new business opportunities. In 2005, she was invited by a retired English Department Head of an American university to lead a group of novice English teachers beginning their ESL teaching careers at a newly established private university on China's mainland. Icydor spent 7 years at Beijing Normal University's International Finance College where she conducted research to enable her to engineer teaching methods and author reinforcement products for Chinese college students aspiring to study in British universities. After concluding this 7-year assignment, Icydor founded the Z.toefl Institute of China (ZIC) as part of a new private high school. At ZIC she conducted research to engineer TOEFL preparation literature curricula for Chinese high school students who desired to study in American universities. The ZIC Literature Curricula (ZLC) focused on American social and academic cultures while emphasizing an appreciation for America’s history, Constitution and Bill of Rights. As part of the ZLC, Icydor included middle school students in a one-year research project to identify Fun English Comprehension Activities for Tweens to lay the foundation for their participation in the ZLC. Icydor's work in China led to her becoming known as a 'Social Entrepreneur' (SE) who generously donated thousands of hours to researching teaching methods, authoring and e-publishing much needed academic material.
