A challenge…

How well do we as teachers reach out to our ELLs..?

The fact of the matter is:

As ESOL teachers we aim to:

support classroom teaching/learning.

support ELLs by providing small

group learning experiences, that will

encourage “quality group talk.”

Use SOLO to empower ELLs to

“think about their thinking” (meta-

cognitive skills).
