- Create an alphabetical list, with students, of all the languages spoken by students in the class
- class profiles, interviews 
-Have students share their thoughts and ideas in their first language to encourage participation.
Ideas from their conversation can be shared with the larger group by the more proficient
English speakers
- provide authentic and cognitively challenging learning tasks:
• State the message in more than one way. Repeat in small groups to ensure understanding.
Ask the student to paraphrase instructions to ensure they understand the task. Use simple vocabulary side by side with the sophisticated new terms.
