Puts Language
Learning and
Content
Learning
Together
It is important that
the ESL teacher and
the content teacher
are on the same
page academically
speaking.
For Example: The ESL teacher could be doing a
lesson on asking to go somewhere. The ESL
teacher would communicate with the content
teacher and the content teacher could encourage
and look out for specific vocabulary and actions
from the student in question.
It could also go the other way: The
content teacher could be working on
American symbols, and he or she will
communicate vocabulary to review
with the ESL teacher.
Language Experience Approach
Student's prior
knowledge and
experiences need
to be used as a
bridge to new
ideas and
concepts.
Students talk
about personal
experiences and
these
experiences are
written down to
be used as
reading
materials.
Thoughts are
written in the
language the
studwent
presents
thaem in
Daily News
Counting in Spanish
Balanced Reading Approach
Recognizes that
students learn to
read in more than
one way, and
integrates phonics
instruction with
authentic texts.

to writing.

Cooperative Learning
Students work in carefully selected
groups to complete task or projects.
The group setting allows the students to use a variety of social interactions.
Students are a
variety of English
profiency levels and
content knowledge.
Gives extra
practice to
students who
are language
learners
Inquiry Approaches
Activities are focused on the
learner and the individual's
understanding of ideas and
concepts.
Activities are constructed by students to check understanding.
Usually associated with science.
Example: Habitats
1. Students researched
milapede's habitat.
2. Students constructed the habitat.
3. Students observed, discussed, and
wrote about the milipede's habitat.
Standards-Based Instruction
Instruction that is based on the
national/state standards for each
content.
TESOL developed new and improved ESL
language standards in 2006.
