Strategies for Content Teachers
Facilitating Instruction for English Language Learners
Our highly trained and experienced presenter will come to your school for a full-day, idea-packed workshop which will send you back to your classroom with scores of easy-to-learn, hands-on, practical strategies and activities, as well as guidelines and advice to adapt teaching, classwork, assignments, and assessments to meet the needs of ESOL students in Grades 3-12.

- Selecting "important" content
- Enhancing and simplifying the oral language of teaching
- Streamlining reading comprehension in the written language of textbooks
- Developing alternative assignments for written classwork and homework assignments
- Enhancing instructional techniques
- Increasing participation in class discussion
