Comprehensible Input
ELLs will acquire English by receiving input that is
slightly beyond their current level of competence.
Allow for multiple exposures to“taped
text” to improve reading and
understanding.
Provide visual/multimedia support for harder
concepts.

ELLs will learn new content and language when it is built on what they already know.
Virtual experiences, such as educational visual media, can
enhance background knowledge.

Academic Vocabulary
ELLs will learn new content and language when they
understand the terms that are used in classrooms, in
textbooks and on tests.
When teaching academic vocabulary terms, students should create nonlinguistic representations.

Meaningful Communication
ELL learning environments should be active, challenging and focused on meaningful
communication.
ELLs should be involved in activities
that promote amplified
publishing.
Learning is most likely to occur if it is
relevant.
