Tips for Read Alouds - Engaging Multilingual Learners
Tips for Read Alouds - Engaging Multilingual Learners Many new curriculum products include lengthy read-alouds with minimal visuals. For multilingual learners, that can mean one thing: it’s hard to stay engaged, process all that information, and hold onto the big ideas. In this video, I share practical strategies to transform your read-alouds into rich opportunities for comprehension and oral language development. Even a short shift in your approach can turn a passive listening activity into an interactive language-rich learning experience. πŸŽ₯ Watch now and get inspired to make your next read-aloud a powerful language and literacy moment for all students! #ReadAloud #MultilingualLearners #ELD #TeachingTips #LanguageDevelopment

Language is Power β€” for Teachers and Students
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) isn’t just a grammar framework. When teachers understand how language works, they’re better equipped to support ELs in accessing content.

Why It’s Time to Rethink Your Approach

Too often, English Language Development (ELD) programs are built around compliance checklists rather than meaningful language growth.

Are you ready to go from surviving to thriving? Let’s start the transformation. httpelpcourses.mykajabi.com/flpeiblog1...

Functional Language Planning No more guessing when it comes to embedding language instruction into your content lessons. You’ll have a clear, structured approach to identify language your students need and planning explicit instruction.

"This course has been the shift I needed to help me plan CKLA for my newcomer and beginner ELD students. I am looking forward to part 2 so I can continue learning and applying SFL to my lesson planning next year." englishlearnerportal.com/functional-l...
