1. We realized that Communication textbooks are too expensive for ESOL students. We also had to supplement extensively no matter which textbook we adopted. 

2. We wanted to use themes that were engaging and level-appropriate. YouTube videos were helpful but didn't really include all the components that we were looking for in a lecture or listening passage. 

3. We tried several themes and Youtube videos and selected the topics that were successful with our classes. 

4. We applied for an OER grant to develop Green Tea. 

5. We developed our own videos and lessons based on the selected topics. All materials are available in the GoogleDoc! ]]> 2021-04-16 18:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1426654058 Green Tea: A Communication OER for Intermediate English Skills lucianadiniz2 https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427394400 Direct Link to GoogleDoc: https://tinyurl.com/greenteaoer ]]> 2021-04-16 22:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427394400 Welcome! pccesol https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427475252 2021-04-17 00:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427475252 Screencast: What is "in" Green Tea? pccesol https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427484342 2021-04-17 00:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427484342 Example Activities: Introverts and Extroverts pccesol https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427508236 Eric shows how he uses resources and activities in the Green Tea unit on Personality.]]> 2021-04-17 00:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427508236 What I learned from this project (Eric) pccesol https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427529032 2021-04-17 00:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1427529032 OER Poster Ring pccesol https://padlet.com/pccesol/greenteaortesol21/wish/1428391919 ORTESOL members are creating all kinds of useful, rich OER!
