They show the reason that ELL is needed for students that are struggling. According to their video, it could take up to 7 years for a ELL to learn the language fully. Material is given too quickly by normal teaching methods and that oral presentations are the only way it is taught for the most part. There are many methods on how to teach a ELL and this video shows you each individually.]]> 2018-01-24 21:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraewertz13/8g7jaeetj5bf/wish/224447631 lauraewertz13 https://padlet.com/lauraewertz13/8g7jaeetj5bf/wish/224451197 Visuals and questions are key in this videos. With learning, visual aids are the best with language. And asking questions that can be answered such as: In conclusion..., the difference between...and...is..., etc. They also mention SWRL, which is learning English is best learned with Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening. That is a huge part for both ELL and even regular students that English is their primary language.]]> 2018-01-24 21:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraewertz13/8g7jaeetj5bf/wish/224451197 lauraewertz13 https://padlet.com/lauraewertz13/8g7jaeetj5bf/wish/224454213 1. I love what Amber Prentice was doing with her class.  Having them answer a question at the beginning of every class.  Then they would go through a strict schedule to keep structure.  She said with new students, she would prepare the classroom for the student and help them adjust as smoothly as possible.
2. SWRL, what a great acronym.  Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening are the best ways to learning a language.  Using this to help children retain the English language is what works.
3. Visual aids are a great way to help teach. Images to help show what something is, physical items are good to use also. Anything to help relate the word, sentence, story being taught and give it a visual to help the lesson be retained.]]> 2018-01-24 21:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraewertz13/8g7jaeetj5bf/wish/224454213
