                        🖤 Proven Strategies to Get English Learners Speaking🖤


    I've attended an online seminar that aims at helping ELLs (English Language  Learners) speak the language well.
    Most of the learners of this language pay a lot of money to learn to talk in English, but they end up unable to do so, as they struggle to gain English proficiency and fall behind academically. That's mainly because the learning systems still have so many limitations that should be overcame.
For that, teachers and educators should do a lot for these learners, and the first to do is to foster a welcoming environment in classes by implementing evidence-based classroom strategies. So teachers should set the classroom environment for the learners fully and totally, making it similar to a real life one in order to help the learners get exposed to an authentic language, the thing that helps them learn the language as it is spoken by native speakers. Adding to that, opportunities for them to talk inside and outside the classroom should be facilitated and increased, because as much as they get to talk is as much as the probability of mastering the spoken language gets better.
Throughout this edWebinar, they discussed:

  • Why it's important to get EL students to speak, and speak often, in the classroom;
  • How districts can create more opportunities for the learners to use the language and master it;
  • Ways to create more equitable systems in schools to help nation's EL students.
