ESL Tip - Speaking Strategy

Pair and Share, Turn and Talk, Elbow Partners

An English learner's second language can only be as strong as their first language! Encourage them to use their native language!!  Pair together students that speak the same language, but are at different language levels. 

Pair limited ESL students with proficient 
ESL students.The proficient student helps to translate and model the language for 
the limited English speaker.
