Today’s episode focuses on vocabulary!  After a lot of contemplation this year about what’s most important for an ENL/ELD teacher … I’ve decided it comes down to vocabulary and how we use it!  Transferring it from home language(s) to English…understanding it through reading and listening…producing it through speaking and writing… and most importantly developing it when it isn’t there yet!  So, thank you for listening to why a focus on vocabulary development is the job of ELL’s teachers…. the reality being that we’re all teachers of ELLs.... therefore, we should all focus on explicitly teaching vocabulary!
