ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) pack

This ESOL lesson plan focuses on the key messages around TB; raising awareness of symptoms and early presentation to a GP. The teaching pack was designed and written by an experienced ESOL teacher in partnership with a TB nurse, and a public health specialist. The lesson uses a number of different teaching techniques, such as practical work, discussion, question and answer and short written tests. The pack consists of:

• A story book starring Raju – a young Nepalese man who develops TB. The story follows him as he is diagnosed, treated and eventually cured.
• A lesson plan with teacher’s notes
• Comprehension questions for students, including a ‘word search’ puzzle and ‘right or wrong’ questions.
• An exercise involving putting events in the
  correct chronological order
• A Power Point presentation to structure the lesson
