- Encourage the students to generate questions about languages. 
- Involve students in setting learning goals and success criteria. ]]> 2018-10-09 18:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahneville27/7owlqotv71no/wish/290929771 sarahneville27 https://padlet.com/sarahneville27/7owlqotv71no/wish/290940777 Everyday English includes:
- Face-to-face conversation
- Conversation on what is happening in the present moment
- Use familiar vocabulary in simple sentences
-Use high-frequency vocabulary
- Describe "my" lived experience
Academic English includes:
- Understand content of presentations, videos and discussions
-Conversations on more abstract content
-Use low-frequency vocabulary
-Use more complex sentences
-Describe actions, ideas and theories. 

*These should be developed simultaneously by the ELL. ]]> 2018-10-09 18:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahneville27/7owlqotv71no/wish/290940777 sarahneville27 https://padlet.com/sarahneville27/7owlqotv71no/wish/290950959 - Alternative assessments and evaluation may be required. 
-Get to know what students are reading at home:
The way students read at home in their first language may be very different from the way English is read, such as the order of words.
-Interpret Miscues Carefully: There are common grammatical errors that could be made but might not hinder the reading comprehension of students. For example switching "was" for "were" or leaving an "s" off of plural words. 
-Put large scale assessment results in context:
Students should always know what is required of them.
