The number of English learners (ELs) is growing in classrooms across the country. Regardless of the approach schools use to support their ELs—sheltered classes, push in, pull out, or even a pull aside—students need explicit instruction in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. During this fast-paced edWebinar, former EL teacher Brenda Adeva shares strategies to build students’ language skills and confidence. She demonstrates:
• Different ways to use images to practice vocabulary
• Scaffolded approaches to using sentence frames to practice grammatical forms and language functions
• Speak to Write for all levels
• How students’ home languages can support English language instruction
Whether you’re a dedicated EL teacher or a general subject teacher with ELs in your classes, tune in to learn practices you can use immediately to support ELs at every stage of language acquisition.
