Teaching students illiterate in L1
|

Hi everyone
Have you had experience teaching adults illiterate in their first or other languages prior to learning English in their new English speaking country? [Especially if they come from preliterate societies]
If so, could you share some tips here?
Maybe some websites, books and resources that helped you?
Thanks

Sorry, no, but I have heard they can manage to learn writing ABC quite soon.
Reading is much more difficult, if I were you, I would stick to the "sight words" method.
Phonics rules might be too complicated for them...
You may start with the very common vocabulary, key nouns and verbs and adjectives - flashcards - picture + words...
