Background
Myself:
I am an ESOL teacher at Rogers Heights Elementary School in Prince George’s County.

Upon my graduation from UMBC, I was offered a position as an ESOL teacher in PGCPS. I have been working with kindergarteners and first graders for past two years.

How can I modify
content to accommodate ELLs?

Let’s practice……
• How can we modify the TIW lessons to accommodate ELLs?
![Page 32: Prince George’s County Public Schools ESOL Overview Min-Ah Kang University of Maryland Writing Project Summer Institute 2010 Adapted by Min-Ah Kang Originally.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051315/56649ee15503460f94bf1678/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
PRACTICE MODIFYING CONTENT for ELLs
with lower proficiencies
• Shorten student tasks• Increase comprehension by drawing a picture
(or provide clip art) instead of explaining• Allow students to create a poster instead of written tasks• Use alternative readings (consult with your reading
specialist or use websites such as http://www.readinga-z.com)
• Be realistic in your expectations

Tips To Help ELLs Acclimate
Learn how to pronounce the student’s name properly.
Assign a buddy or buddies.Encourage inclusion; look out for
exclusion.Respect student’s home language by
asking student to translate for the class a word or phrase of classroom content

More Tips To Help ELLs Acclimate
Create an alternate project and assessment when necessary.
Think visually and model EVERYTHING you teach.
Give examples and copies of all overhead materials and lecture notes.
Permit ELLs to share their culture (clothing, food, lifestyle) so that classmates can understand the ELLs background better.

Tips from the Kids
• “Don’t laugh at us!”• “Tell other students to be kind to us (talk slowly, don’t make fun
of us and help us if we need it)”.• “When the teacher finishes explaining to everybody, explain it
again to the ESOL student more slowly.”• “Give us lots of examples!”• “Do not force ESOL students to read hard stuff aloud.” • “Provide more sources of information to ESOL students to help
them to understand such as cliff notes.” from Arundel Middle School (Ms. Gibson’s ESOL class)
