GENERAL RINCIPLES FOR TEACHING ELL
STUDENTS
 Languaje acquisition theories have 4 key principles
that can be applied to the clasroom.
INCREASE COMPREHENSIBILITY (INTERMEDIATE LEVEL)
 This principle involves the ways in which teachers can
make content more understandable to their students.
 Some strategies include building from language that
is already understood, using graphic organizer, hands
on learning opportunities, and cooperative or peer
tutoring techniques.
• Emphasizes on comprehensible output
• There are strategies that increase
students’ oportunities to use their
languaje skill in direct communication
and the purpse of « negotiation
mening» in real life situations.
Increase interation
• These strategies suggest ways to
develop more advanced, higher order
thinking skills as a student's
competency increases.
Increase thinking/
study skills
• This principle also draws on wealth of
current research that show the
advantage of incorporatiing a
student`s native languaje into their
instruction.
• Many of strategies include, implicity
or explicity, the use of a student`s
native languaje to increase his or her
understanding.
Use a student`s native
languaje to increase
comprehensibility
This approach uses student’s words to create a text
where the students describe orally a person
experience to a teacher meanwhile the teacher
writes the story using the student’s word .
Example:
A student talks about her experience orally when
she went to Atacames beach with your family
meanwhile the teacher writes everything the
student says.
A dialogue journal is a written
conversation in which a student and
teacher communicate.
Students write in a journal and the
teacher writes regularly, responding
to students' questions and
comments, introducing new topics, or
asking questions.

Accessing Prior
Knowledge
What is It?
 This is relevant background
knowledge, prior knowledge, or
just plain experience.
 It helps students to make
connections to the new
information they will be learning.
Why Is It Important?
 Deepens understanding
 Build a foundation of knowledge
(upon which they can place new facts,
ideas, and concepts)
 When teaching a new concept is to
ask students what they already
know about a subject.
 Creating a visual, such as "semantic
webs", with the topic in the center
and students' knowledge
surrounding it.
 It’s a good way to engage students
in the topic and to find out what
they already know.
Example:
Culture Studies

which students do
research and
share information
about their own
cultural history.

appropriate at any
level and incorporate

reading, writing,
speaking, giving
presentations, and
creating visuals.
Other strategies for including
culture

 Show and Tell
 Misunderstandings

that is popular

country or

own experience
and allowing
them to tell it

native language
and in English.

to bring an
object that
represents their
home culture
and to tell the
class about it is
uses.
• Where it’s from?
how it’s made?
and so on.

students to share an
incident, they have
experienced that
involved a cultural
misunderstandings

examine the
misunderstandings
and gain insight into
the complexities and
importance of cross-
cultural awareness.
Realia Strategies

object used in the classroom.
Realia gives students the
opportunity to use all of their
senses to learn about a given
subject. Is appropriate for any
grade or skill level.
when the real object is not
available or is impractical,
teachers can use models or semi-
concrete objects, such as
photographs, illustration and
artwork
For example:
The use of realia can also be an ideal way t
incorporate cultural content into a lesson
Studying clothing
items from
