1 Cooperative Learning (Rehtin, 2019)
Rationale: Cooperative learning allows ELLs to work with peers and practice language in a supportive and non-threatening environment.
Assessment: To determine whether this is effective, I will observe and record students' use of English in cooperative activities and gather feedback from students about the strategy's effectiveness and their level of comfort using the language.
2 Scaffolding (Bruner, 1966)
Rationale: Scaffolding supports ELLs by providing them with a structure for learning new content and language.
Assessment: I will observe and record student understanding of new content and language and gather feedback from students about the strategy's effectiveness.
3 Using Visuals (Leong et al., 2019)
Rationale: Visuals can help ELLs understand and retain new information, particularly if they struggle with the language.
Assessment: Observe and record student understanding of new information, and gather feedback from students about the effectiveness of the strategy.
4 Authentic Material (Rechtin, 2019)
Rationale: Authentic material provides ELLs with real-life context for language use and can increase their motivation to learn.
Assessment: Observe and record student engagement and motivation, and gather student feedback about the strategy's effectiveness.
5 Total Physical Response (Asher, 1977)
Rationale: Total Physical Response uses physical movements to support language acquisition and can be especially helpful for kinesthetic learners.
Assessment: Observe and record student comprehension and recall of language and content, and gather feedback from students about the effectiveness of the strategy.
6 Graphic Organizers (Rahat & Rahman, 2019)
Rationale: Graphic organizers can help ELLs understand and retain new information by visually representing relationships between concepts.
