Proficiency Level Descriptors - these are important to refer to when monitoring the progress of the English learners. They also serve as reminders of what students can do at each level of proficiency within each domain of language.

These court cases and legal documents give the historical background for esl education. There is another link that has the time line for these events. Knowing the laws and history of ESL education help us to be better ESL teachers.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:03:17 UTC

These resources help explain different ESL programs and how ESL education can differ depending on what kind of program a child is in. Knowing different programs can help with ESl placement and can help us know which resources would be most helpful to implement for each student.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:17:39 UTC

The different language acquisition theories help us to implement instruction that will actually help students acquire language skills more efficiently. These theories are fundamental to understanding how students have different stages they go through when they are learning a new language.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:22:26 UTC

The structures of language can help us understand how to teach it. Using cognates, breaking down words, and understanding that elements such as syntax and phonology can vary depending on language. This can also help us teach language by understanding the base units of it.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:26:03 UTC

Language instruction methods have evolved over time and understanding how they have developed over time can help us take the pieces from each method that worked the best and incorporate them into our own instruction for ELs.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:35:12 UTC

There is a difference between hearing and speaking language. Both aspects of language need to be practiced so students are able to speak and understand the language they are trying to learn.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:54:39 UTC

This list of strategies for reading and writing is helpful for incorporating methods of teaching both concepts to ELs. I have also compiled more resources for reading and writing. There are also activities for Els to help with this development.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 04:59:11 UTC

One of the most important parts of teaching ESl is making sure that students know both academic and social english. They vary greatly and can make it difficult for students to understand what teachers or friends are saying and when to use what kind of language. Additionally, the social english or slang can vary depending on the region someone is from as well.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:07:46 UTC

Having multicultural influences in the classroom helps all students feel welcome and like they are part of the class culture that we develop as teachers. These resources highlight the importance of being culturally aware of students' backgrounds and family heritage.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:23:58 UTC

This resource details the tiers of words and how to best teach each one to ELs. Academic language also involves all the content area specific terminology and all the tiers of language instruction. The CALPS scale also details this academic language and the progression that ELs make through learning academic language.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:26:02 UTC

Just as teachers write content objectives, they also must align their lesson plans to language objectives. These resources talk about how to write these objectives, where we get them from, and how to align them with content area objectives to best support ELs.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:27:04 UTC

Since different countries teach math differently, and language can make understanding all content areas difficult, it is most beneficial to use modeling and picture scaffolding to support the teaching of new math concepts to ELs.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:28:02 UTC

This resource details supports that ELs can receive for learning science and how we can support them as teachers in the area of science best. Scaffolds are extremely important in this area of knowledge as well.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:29:08 UTC

A great way to teach social studies to ELs is through incorporating every student's culture into the class and allowing them to take part in acting out history or art based projects to help them embrace the events they are studying.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:30:44 UTC

Summative assessments measure what students have learned from a whole unit of studying or throughout a year. Students who have an L1 other than english may need additional supports when taking assessments. It is also important to make sure ELs are getting a valid assessment that is practical, ethical, and fair to them.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:31:48 UTC

Formative assessments cover only what students have learned in a short period of time and can still be adapted to meet students' proficiency level, but can also be used to show where students are at and how the teacher can better reach them or support their learning going forward.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:33:48 UTC

It is important to know that a suspected learning disability must be present in both the home language and english for there to be a referal to SPED placement. there are often many cases where students are falsely identified as needing special education Services or referred to be tested for a learning disability because people overlook this fact.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:35:07 UTC

EL students are often underrepresented in GT programs. As teachers we can take steps to push all students to grow and be there best no matter what their first language is. In order to do this, we must believe in our students and give them opportunities to demonstrate their giftedness.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:36:06 UTC

The SAMR model shows how we can successfully incorporate technology into student learning and adapt the curriculum in the most efficient way to facilitate learning.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:37:20 UTC

Families know the most about their students so it is important for us to be on the same team as them. We must show families that we care and that we are a resource for them. We have the ability to connect them to many resources and help their students reach their goals and highest potential.

ashlyngraham2 — 2025-05-03 05:38:58 UTC

As teachers we are also advocates for our students. We have the voice to make sure they are seen, valued, and given the opportunities to do and be they're best. We should especially advocate for EL students because they are often overlooked and do not receive the support they deserve.
