Week 14 - Interactive Classes in ELL students

Rate: 4 of 5 🞳🞳🞳🞳

The articles from this week share us interesting way on how teachers may include students’ participation, students’ interaction, and discussion strategies in classes.  First, the students’ participation in classes is important because it helps to catch students’ attention. It can be asking to students interesting questions that get them to think also motivate them in content. Besides, when students are developing their skill is important that the teacher provides them feedback in order that students improve their learning and give them the chance to practice using different vocabulary.  
Second, students’ interaction using Think-Pair-Shares and Circle Chats activities help to ELL student  in their learning process because students have the opportunity to offer their ideas it is important that they feel comfortable no matter if the make grammatical errors. Moreover, some benefits that those activities offer are that create an interactive classroom environment in order that students have opportunities to practice language skill to become successful students achieve them interaction and use of the second language. Something that caught my attention from the article discussion strategies was the activities that teachers might do in classes for example Gallery walk that is a useful oral activity in which students make small groups performing some kind of task like informative poster.  Another activity that caught my attention was the Hot Seat because it increases students’ participation at the moment that students sit in front of the rest of the class and start to answer questions. To conclude, teachers also might use interactive PowerPoint to include in classes students participation, students’ interaction because it is part of discussion strategy and it is easy create games that catch students attention in PowerPoint tool.
 Here is my example of a game in PowerPoint 



ELL English Language Learner - Students whose first language is not English and who are in the process of learning English.

Students may play the Hot Seat in this way:
