    Commonly Asked
    Questions
    What qualifies a student as
    ESL?

    Using the SIOP Model


    Lesson Preparation: Be sure to write
    specific and measurable content and
    language objectives. Create meaningful
    activities that will allow students to link
    their prior knowledge to new content.
    Building Background: The concepts must
    be directly related to students prior
    experiences. Contextualize new
    vocabulary by choosing meaningful
    vocabulary words and by teaching
    them simply and concretely.
    Comprehensible Input: Teachers must use
    language that is appropriate to the
    students language proficiency level.
    Speak slowly, and clearly with clear
    language free of idioms or jargon. To
    make it more meaningful for the
    student, use gestures, body language,
    and pictures to accompany spoken
    words.
    Strategies: Choose an appropriate
    strategy based on the concepts being
    taught and based upon the students in
    your classroom. Be sure to challenge
    your students to think critically.

    students to do the same
    work as my other students?

    students to learn the same
    content as the other students.
