Episode 112 - 5 Non-Negotiables for Integrating ELs in Regular Education Classroom

The ESL Teaching Podcast

Apr 30 2024 • 18 mins

When it comes to teaching English learners, some things come naturally for EL teachers, while regular education teachers might be wondering how they can reach their multilingual students. I have several episodes about teaching all ELs, but I wanted to distill this information into even more practical and really actionable advice that all teachers can take whenever they have an English learner in their classroom. In today's episode, I will be talking about 5 non-negotiables for integrating ELs in your regular education classroom. No matter what subject or what grade level you teach. They may be new to you or you may have already heard them many times. But as we say, the more times you hear it, the more you internalize the information and the more it can become natural to you to implement.

What you will hear about in this episode:

  • Importance of reaching out to EL specialists for proficiency assessments
  • The four main language functions: inform, narrate, argue, and explain
  • Importance of speech adjustment to assist EL comprehension
  • Strategies for teaching newcomers with overwhelmed capacities
