Health Lessons from the Minnesota Literacy Council

The MLC has wealth of English teaching resources on its website.  Check out their Health Lessons for Volunteers. The pacing is fast (3 weeks to cover lots of information).  Those working with beginners will likely want to spend more time covering the themes and activities here.

Need a free, health expert to present to your class?


ECHO (Emergency and Community Health Outreach) Minnesota has an extensive collection of health related videos specifically geared toward immigrants and refugees. These programs run 30 to 60 minutes and are available in accessible English as well as many of the immigrants' first languages including: Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Vietnamese, Khmer, Lao, and others. If you are taking on a health topic with your ELL adult student, check ECHO's archive for the "expert presentation" that will best suit your needs.
