Working With English Language Learners

Picture

Working with ELLs can be challenging for content area teachers with little background in second language learning or TESOL. 

In addition to needing an understanding of the principles of second language acquisition, our teachers also need to be able to use the types of high yield strategies and techniques that support the learning of all students in the classroom.

TESOL Trainers is your scaffold to success™
There are many ways to support teachers in developing high yield strategies that support English language learners.

TESOL Trainers offers a host of solutions from targeted workshops on specific TESOL strategies such as engaging students, 7 Strategies for success, managing multi-level classrooms, Sheltered instruction, comprehension checking, and much more.

One additional way to support positive teaching practices is setting up a peer coaching initiative in your school or district. This type of program gives teachers the tools they need to inform and transform their own teaching by creating supportive, focused learning communities among the teaching staff. Visit iCOACH© for more details.

TESOL Trainers can design a single workshop or a series of workshops on effective strategies that teachers can use when working with ELLs.

There are many benefits to working with TESOL Trainers. Here are but a few that you can expect:

Learner Centered
The driving principle behind all workshops is that the participant must be 100% engaged in the learning process.
Experiential
All activities are hands-on approaches to exploring and experiencing the guiding principles & strategies behind each technique.
Adaptable
The techniques and strategies covered can be used the next day in the classroom without spending hours on preparation.
Research-Based
Every strategy and technique is based on sound research of learning and teaching current to the field of teaching.
Needs-Based
Every workshop is designed and delivered with the specific needs of the institution and the goals of the intervention.

Please Contact us for detailed information on how we can help your educational institution set all teachers and learners up for success.
