GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR TEACHING ELL STUDENTS

Increase Comprehensibility

Input

Increase Interaction

Increase Thinking /

Study Skills

Use a Student’s

Native Language to increase

Comprehensibility

The teachers can

make content more understandable to

their students

Drawing from

Swain’s emphasis on comprehensible

output, a number

of strategies have

been developed that increase student’

opportunities.

These strategies

suggest ways to

develop more

advenced, higher

order thinking skills as a

student’s competency increase.

This principle also

draws on a wealth

of current research

that has shown the

advantage of incorporating a

student’s native

language into their instruction

A SAMPLING OF TEACHING STRATEGIES

numerous evidence- based sources suggest

may be beneficial for students learning

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

It involves student participation in small-group learning activities that promote positive interactions.  

LANGUAGE EXPERIENCE APPROACH

The teacher/peer then reads the story back as it was written, while the

student follows along. Then the student reads the story aloud or

silently. This approach helps students learn how language is encoded as

they watch it written down.

DIALOGUE JOURNALS

The teacher does not evaluate what is written, but models

correct language and provides a non-threatening opportunity for ELL students to communicate in writing with someone proficient

in English.

ACADEMIC LANGUAGE SCAFFOLDING

It consists of several linked strategies, including modeling academic language; contextualizing academic language using visuals, gestures, and demonstrations; and using hands-on learning activities that involve academic language.

NATIVE LANGUAGES SUPPORT

Teachers can use texts that are bilingual or involve a student’s native

culture, organize entire lessons around cultural content, and

encourage students to use their own language when they cannot find the

appropriate word in English.

ACCCESSING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

Creating a visual, such as semantic webs, with the topic in the center and students’ knowledge

surrounding it, is a good way to engage students in the topic and to find out what they already know.

CULTURE STUDIES

Culture study, in this context, is a project in which students do

research and share information about their own cultural history.

Such studies can be appropriate at any grade level and incorporate

many skills, including reading, writing, speaking

REALIA STRATEGIES

Realia gives students the opportunity to use all of their senses to learn about a given subject, and is appropriate for any grade or skill level.
