Language develops 🌱when massive amounts of comprehensible or understandable input is given AND low stress opportunities for output are offered. 🌷 Every day. Every student. Every class. Not just once a day during ELD time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #teachingideas #teachingresources #teachingkids #teachingenglish #multilingualism #bilinguismo #bilingue #bilingual_kids #ESOL #ESL #TESOL

If English learners only feel comfortable talking in small group "pull out" time, we need to question why. What conditions are raising the affective filter in mainstream classrooms? How can we ensure that students-ALL students- feel safe to speak in any classroom? #ESL #MLLS
