Seven Teaching Strategies for Classroom Teachers of ELLs

Learn 7 key strategies classroom teachers must know to provide an effective learning environment for ELLs.

In Teaching English Language Learners Across the Content Areas (ASCD, 2010), Debbie Zacarian and I listed seven teaching strategies for mainstream teachers of ELLs. These seven strategies are designed to help teachers meet the needs of all the students in their classes and to help make the mainstream classroom more inclusive for ELLs.

1. Provide comprehensible input for ELLs. Language is not “soaked up.” The learner must understand the message that is conveyed. Comprehensible input is a hypothesis first proposed by Stephen Krashen. (Krashen, 1981) He purports that ELLs acquire language by hearing and understanding messages that are slightly above their current English language level. When newcomers are assigned to a mainstream classroom and spend most of their day in this environment it is especially critical for them to receive comprehensible input from their teachers and classmates. If that teacher provides information by lecturing in the front of a classroom, the English language learner will not be receiving this input. Teachers need to speak more slowly, use gestures and body language to get across the meaning to ELLs.

Instructional Strategies for ESL Students Checklist

Checking students’ comprehension of the content:

• Use sentence strips
• Set up dialogue journals between teacher and student
• Plan activities using role play and drama
• Use student reading logs
• Use Cloze exercises
• Write summaries
• Encourage students to write headlines
• Write character diaries
• Have students present information with illustrations, comic strips, or other visual representations
• Allow students to provide answers and explain processes instead of you telling them
