One of the U.S. educational challenges of today is meeting the educational needs of the English language learners. This growing diverse population of English learners has to simultaneously learn to build their English language proficiency and the content area within their grade level standard. This makes it a double challenge for them and their teachers. After observing a lesson based on a video simulation of a classroom, I will discuss five components: comprehensible input, ongoing specific and immediate feedback, grouping structures and techniques, building background and vocabulary development and student engagement that were integrated into the lesson. I will then discuss what methods and techniques should be utilized when teaching English learners. I will close by sharing my thought about what I liked and felt could have been done difference. The delivery of a lessons and how the language objectives are deliver is significant in choosing strategies for the ELL. First I will reflex on at comprehensible input.…

In my speciality I use many various strategies in regards to teaching and learning. In this point I will explain in detail methods I used when teaching the learners I work with but also strategies to assess their learning and my own. When looking at various strategies and approaches that are used I often place myself in the situation of facilitating learning in order to get a good picture. I firstly, like to ensure that the teaching will engage, stimulate and motivate and provide the necessary teaching content in order for them to learn. A strategy I often use to start the lesson is an ‘icebreaker’. This will help establish/reiterate ground rules for the lesson but also help…

Instructional strategies or lesson methodologies for science instruction are similar to those used in many other subjects. However, as with other subjects, the strategies teachers use have been evolving over time as they better understand what approaches result in the greatest student engagement, understanding, and retention. Below I address several teaching strategies used in science classes, describing those that are more traditional first, and those that are newer and more innovative later. At the end of this paper, I describe an interview I had with one science teachers, and how her perspectives relate to the strategies described in this paper, and how her ideas have made me think differently and more deeply about strategies I might use in my classroom.…
Current research shows classroom design does have a significant impact on the engagement and learning of students. One such study found significant positive impact on learning when ownership of the space was a characteristic, as did flexibility in the layout and clearly defined separate learning areas (Barrett et al., 2013).…
