Technological Tools for Assisting Students who are English Language Learners (ELLs) and for each Too, Noting Strategies for Teaching ELLs.

Being a new teacher can be a daunting task with many new expectations. Teaching ELL students can be difficult for new teachers when they are thrown in to the classroom without properly having experienced teaching situations. The article I have found helps alleviate that stress that accompanies teaching students who speak English as a second language.

There are all sorts of strategies for teaching ELL students. In this article they advocate the use of ‘total immersion’ as the best way for learning to occur. Creating an environment in which the student learned their native language will allow for a conducive learning of English. One of the strategies that they include for the natural acquisition of English is to use visuals to reinforce spoken or written words. What better way to do these things then with the use of technology.
