As part of our ESL curriculum, Tolton staff includes a unit focused on health. In class, students participate in discussions of all types of health. In the past, specialists have visited us to present and answer questions about physical and mental health.
Students have always reported enjoying this unit due in large part to the practicality of the lessons. Tolton Center staff focuses on real-life learning, meaning that students practice in the classroom the skills they will need to communicate outside of the classroom.
MaryEllen Lesniak’s class at Tepeyac has been doing just that. In this video, students practice visiting a doctor’s office. Armed with information and practice, students always return to class sharing their positive experiences in real-life doctors offices!
