The overall purpose of the Comparative Framework is to allow ESL instructors and curriculum planners to draw on their own professional knowledge and experience in order to make holistic and intuitive judgments about patterns of relationship between the two frameworks and how to integrate components of the ES framework and/or tasks into the second language classroom. Teachers and other professionals in the field may find the checklists presented in this section useful when considering tasks and documents for use with a particular occupational group or language class, using a communicative approach to skills development.
These checklists are to be used as a starting point for implementing ES tasks in the second language classroom and/or material development. These checklists may be modified subject to changes identified during the material development phase of this project.
