A challenge…
How well do we as teachers reach out to our ELLs..?
The fact of the matter is:
As ESOL teachers we aim to:support classroom teaching/learning.support ELLs by providing small
group learning experiences, that will encourage “quality group talk.”
Use SOLO to empower ELLs to “think about their thinking” (meta-cognitive skills).
