Abstract:
Plymouth Canton Community Education in Michigan implemented an intergenerational English as a Second Language program because of the need for ESL students' children to adjust to the child care program. The goal of the program was to allow a non-English speaking pre-schooler the opportunity to adjust to an English speaking pre-school teacher, classmates, and an American pre-school atmosphere. Included are lesson plans for "child only" lessons, "adult only" lessons, and group lessons.
