Section #3: The Value of Oral Language

Encourage Partnerships and Cooperative Learning

Partnering ELL students with a supportive peer can ease their integration into the class and classroom discussions. This allows them to practice their oral skills in English and receive feedback to promote language acquisition.

Errors: Handle With Care

Respectfully correct students by: providing feedback on certain areas,provide examples, and continue working on language structure.

Constantly correcting ELL can limit his or her development, increase anxiety, and discourage participation.

Create a Supportive Environment

Provide positive feedback, address all students, engage learners to make connections to their interests to build their knowledge and skills.

Create a supportive/positive learning environment for students where they are aware mistakes are accepted as part of the learning process.

The Silent Period no Cause for Alarm

Being quiet is normal. Some learn by listening and by watching others. Students are sometime more comfortable working in small groups.

Every Student can Help

Encourage all students to stay engaged in helping newcomers learn along with them. Try to always provide a helping hand. English speaking can communicate with ELLs with positive attitudes.
