What types of teaching strategies have you utilized with your ELL students? Of the strategies discussed, which one(s) do you think will be implemented in the future?
One of the teaching strategies that I use is grouping by high-low proficiency in English and understanding. By placing students with various levels of proficiency in English and understanding, students that are struggling are able to be helped by peers and the high proficiency learners will have the chance to teach someone. This is another facet of education can you show others what you know, this helps high efficiency learners by having to explain the process or concept rather than just knowing how to do it their minds. The low proficiency learners gain from being taught by peers and might help retain information than from a more traditional lecture. I will be implementing this more in the future, alongside scaffolding because I have seen that these teaching strategies help the majority of students and not just English Language Learners.
