Helping English Language learners
Tips for Instruction
Talking in complete and clear sentences.
Scaffolding instruction for students to focus on one part of the content at a time.
Teaching using visuals can help students who are still in the beginning stages of learning english
Tips for Curriculum
Do NOT water down or simplify curriculum for ESL students, instead break down the content they are learning into chunks to make it less stressful.
Depending on the stage the English learner is in, alter assessments to fit that stage.
Including a welcoming environment
It's so important to include diversity, and allow english speakers to learn ESL students language to, such as including books in the library that include the students culture and language
Including spanish on labels under english
Having cultural units, and letting an ESL student share about their family
