This document discusses developmentally appropriate instruction for young English language learners. It notes that teachers must understand students' physical, psychological, socio-emotional, cognitive, and moral development. Effective instruction considers attributes of emotional/social development like independence and humor, as well as cognitive attributes like understanding symbols and classifying pictures. Teachers are advised to make language input meaningful by considering students' language levels, building background knowledge, providing varied input, using classroom language, and modeling instruction with examples of the target language in use.
