This article presents the above model as a means to facilitate learning for ELL students in an English speaking classroom. It suggests many of the strategies used elsewhere - images, small group discussions and study partners, writing practice in journals and personal vocabulary pages, etc. It also goes a step farther, and encourages teachers to get in touch with familes to find out more about the cultures of their students to allow teachers to develop more personal connections and examples for ELL students. I recommend this for anyone starting their research into problems and possible solutions for ELL lesson development.
