2. The Key to a Great Class o Use consistent, explicit instructions and praise any attempts to communicate. o Speak clearly using the normal rhythm and patterns of English. o Use repetition and non-verbal supports. o Observe and interact to ascertain how much the student understands. o Allow students time to tune into English – they will understand more English than they can articulate.

3. o Model correct structures. o Focus on the script if the student is not used to the Roman alphabet. o Promote links between the school and home – this can be of great benefit to students, particularly if they are geographically or ethnically isolated or if there is only one ESL student at the school.

5. 1)Teacher speaks most of the time 2)Students expect the teacher to lead activities 3)Teachers constantly pass judgment on student performance  This strategy may work but it’s exhausting “The Old Way” – Teacher-dominated

6. 1)Students work individually or in pairs/small groups  Maybe even on distinct tasks and projects! 2)Teachers relieved of the necessity of constant supervision  Students feel a personal sense of relevance and achievement “The New Way” – Learner-centered

7. 1)Students pay more attention and learn better from one another when their performances and processes of negotiation of meaning are more closely adapted to one another’s level of ability. 2)Student-driven activities are preferable for everybody  Group work is especially effective because ELL- students’ are often hesitant to speak in large settings. So why should teachers use “The New Way?”
