Supporting English Learners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are our students learning the language they need to read, write and talk about the content being taught?  While all students need to learn Tier III content vocabulary, emergent bilinguals may need clarification on the other language used when teaching content as well.  Consider the word \u201ctable;\u201d when a table is referred to in science or math (as a place where data is recorded or stored) and imagine the confusion experienced by language learners when the picture that comes to mind is the place where people gather to eat meals!  Being conscious of words that might be unknown or confusing so that quick clarifications, visuals or diagrams can be included will result in less time lost in confusion, and more overall comprehension of important instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
