ELL

Pg 42

Be welcoming Teachers can make new English language learners feel welcome, accepted, and supported in their classrooms by taking a few simple steps:  Practise and use the correct pronunciation of the student’s name.  Seat the student where he or she can see and hear all classroom activities.  Introduce yourself and the students who sit near the newcomer.  Assign the student a classroom partner – someone of the same gender and, if possible, the same language background – to explain or model routine classroom tasks or to help the student in other ways.  Ensure that the student understands school routines and is familiar with school facilities.  Teach the student basic phrases, such as hello, goodbye, and I don’t understand.  Help the student learn to express important personal information in English – for example, to respond to questions about his or her name and address.  

BENEFIT TECH for ELL - Have students use Google Translate to type in key phrases and work with a partner.  Tech provides a hands-on tool for translations.
