What are TESOL Strategies?

TESOL is an acronym for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.  

Many school districts across the United States are faced with rising numbers of English learners and the realization that they are poorly prepared for the challenge.

While many teachers have English learners in their classrooms, they may not have the necessary competence or confidence to support these students effectively.  

In fact, an overwhelming number of teachers admit to feeling inadequately prepared and poorly equipped to meet the needs of these students.

TESOL Trainers offers Online Professional Development for K12 Educators

Teaching remotely has its challenges for teachers and their students.  The English learner tends to have far more hurdles to get over in order to learn.  The challenge of remote learning is how far behind some categories of students fall.  Yet, there are strategies that K12 educators can implement that create a successful learning experience for English learners.  TESOL Trainers has a host of K12 professional development workshops that help teachers develop the knowledge, attitude, skills, and awareness they need to support non-native English speakers in the online and hybrid learning environment. 

John Kongsvik and his team of highly skilled trainers provide 100% experiential professional development on TESOL Strategies for the content area teacher.  These interactive remote training sessions cover important topics such as:
  • Second language acquisition strategies

  • Scaffolding English learners into success
  • Making content comprehensible for all learners
  • Vocabulary development in the online classroom
  • Increasing oral language development
