Strategies for Success, An Example
Strategies that assist ELLs’ learning are familiar to teachers,
but their importance to students’ academic success is not
often addressed. Using these strategies intentionally can
help improve learning for both ELL and non-ELL students.
The ESOL Teaching Strategies Taxonomy, used in conjunction with one or more curriculum-based learning activity
types taxonomies, can help teachers to address ELLs’ language development and all students’ curricular learning
needs while integrating use of educational technologies
effectively.
