Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners
The United States is returning to its role as the Melting Pot of the world, and with it comes a large number of non-English-speaking students arriving in America's schools and classrooms. The job of teaching, already full of challenges with No Child Left Behind, is made even more difficult with this influx of students who, despite their language barriers, must be educated as well.

DayOne/Educational is proud to present this detailed, laminated reference card covering "Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners." Here, at your fingertips, are a myriad of ideas, techniques, suggestions and tactics for reaching students who are struggling to learn English.

Created by Dr. Elsa Vélez (born in Puerto Rico and whose native language is Spanish), this card brings research-based and experience-tested strategies to your planning book.

The card is organized by these topics:

  • Cultural Differences & Awareness - learning the student's history, previous school records, helping them feel welcome in your classroom, etc.
  • Classroom Behavior - respecting cultural differences, using praise, etc.
  • Interactions with Others
  • Sequencing Language Learning - what to expect in year-by-year progress, connecting speech, vocabulary development, etc.
  • Understanding the Content - making connection with existing knowledge, reviewing directions, etc.
  • Compensation Strategies - organizing information, using non-verbal descriptions, checklists, much more.
  • Instruction (see below).
  • Homework - ability appropriate, integrate learning, personalized, etc.
  • Assessment and Grading - geared to linguistic level, oral testing, extended time, simple essays, multiple measures, etc.

Special emphasis is also given to the role of parents with the success of the student, and how to link home and school. Myths and facts about English Language Learners are also stated and defined.

Instructional Guidelines

An extensive section on this card regarding instruction features many suggestions organized by these headings:

  • Planning - who to consult, collaborations, expectation setting,
  • Tools - autobiographies, pen pals, language centers, etc.
  • Techniques - frequent checks, interviews, cooperative learning, require extended responses, differentiate instruction, sequence words, much more.
  • Delivery - use gestures, wait time, followed responses, paraphrasing, much more.

The success and learning of all children has never been more important. With this card in your planning book, you can effectively help your English Language Learners in all of your classes.
