Suggestions for ESL Classes and Activities: COVID-19 Guidance
School communities understand the importance of consistent, regular support for students who speak a language other than English as it relates to English-acquisition. An important part of that directly connects to the amount of exposure that children have to the English Language. Below are some ways in which schools and districts can consider ongoing support of students, even when school has been closed.
Activities Establishing virtual lessons for student who have connectivity at home
Building lessons in the 4 domains of language that center around an assigned reading
Providing sets of written materials that can be mailed back in pre-paid envelopes
Tutoring sessions with small groups or individual calls through conference calls
Challenges ? Must be high interest, on-
time and well-organized ? Lessons must follow the 4
domains: reading, writing, speaking, and listening ? Training teachers on how to help English Learners (Els) trouble shoot technology for problems ? Teachers would have to plan multi-level, multi-skilled lessons ? Determine a way to assess student success ? Determine a way to meet differentiated needs of ELs at differing grade levels ? Selecting high interest materials ? Training ELs and parents of ELs how to manage this process ? Setting up the mailing from and back to the school ? Expressing requirements completely and in a language and manner the parents and students can understand ? Train parents and or students for this process ? Setting up a schedule that includes all ? Communicating the need for this change to continue developing English skills
Benefits ? Can continue with planned
curriculum ? Instruction will need to be
clear and delivered in twice to enhance understanding, i.e., one written directions and the other a visual representation or stated in two ways in words ? Deep dive into subject selected topics ? Grammar and vocabulary in the context of the reading ? Can talk about, write about, and even listen to ancillary communications related to the reading
? Mode of study that is accepted by EL parents and students
? Materials can be mailed in prepaid envelopes to and from the child's home
? Envelopes and pages can be disinfected upon receipt with spray products
? Allows for differentiation ? Allows continuation of skill
development set for in ILPs previously
