The Car Occupant Safety Awareness Project: Lessons for English Language Learners on the Benefits of Seat Belt and Child Safety Usage

An important role that English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers can play in integrating new Americans into U.S. society is to make students aware of safe and unsafe behaviors. This document includes learning activities designed to involve participants in learning about safe behavior in cars and engaging them in activities that reinforce the use of seat belts and car seats, as part of being a good citizen and a responsible family member. This curriculum provides language associated with seat belts and safety, and offers facts about seat belt use with the expectation that people will understand the value of using seat belts and will conclude for themselves that using a seat belt is a wise decision. Lessons include: Why Wear a Seat Belt?; Behind the Wheel; Child Safety Seats; and Occupant Safety Review.
