Volunteers who work with teachers in the Adult EAL classroom, are an essential element of the Adult
EAL system in
Manitoba and fulfill a valuable role in assisting learners to improve
their skills. In this section volunteers will find information about
training they can take to develop their knowledge and skill in working
with learners. (See below for Adult EAL Volunteer Training Workshop
Calendar.) The Volunteer Manual, Learning Together (see link below)
has a variety of useful
suggestions for volunteers working in different situations.

ESL TUTOR TRAINING MANUAL
This English as a Second Language Tutor Training kit is a very helpful
resource for novice teachers, tutors and volunteers in the classroom, because
it brings a learner-centred approach to tutoring Adult ESL learners. The
Tutor Training Manual below has many important teaching methodologies and
cross-cultural aspects in teaching Adults in ESL.

Manitoba Language Links - EAL Training for Tutors
and Teachers
Manitoba Language Links offers new EAL (ESL)
volunteers, tutors and instructors the opportunity to participate in
Professional Development through a web-based program. It is
intended to connect EAL service providers in regional programs with each
other and with EAL specialists throughout the province in a network of
mutual support.
The sessions begin with information about Adult
Language Training and about the instructors’ role in ALT programs.
It goes on to address Manitoba’s best practices for teaching EAL in
Manitoba. This includes an introduction to the Canadian Language
Benchmarks and Collaborative Portfolio Assessment.
Anyone is welcome to visit the site and access the
material there. We recommend that new teachers in ALT-funded
programs consult with their coordinators and project officers about
joining the course, submitting the assignments and completing a portfolio
of their teaching experience.
