✏️ Struggling to fit all 4 language domains into your lesson plans?
It doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This episode will show you how! 💡

In this week’s Equipping ELLs episode, Beth breaks down practical, low-prep routines you can start using tomorrow to support your students in:

👂 Listening – Build active listeners with simple pre-listening strategies
🗣 Speaking – Boost confidence with picture-based daily warm-ups
📖 Reading – Front-load vocab to maximize comprehension
✍️ Writing – Try the “Strengthen A Sentence” routine to promote expression and collaboration

Why routines? Because they lower the affective filter, increase engagement, and make language development feel doable—for students and for YOU.

🎧 Tune in to hear the full breakdown!
📩 DM me EP94 and I’ll send the link your way.

You can teach all four domains—without burning out. 💛

🌍 What does translanguaging actually look like

🌍 What does translanguaging actually look like in a real classroom?
Not a buzzword. Not chaos. Just strategic bilingual brilliance. 💬✨

In this episode of the Equipping ELLs podcast, we’re walking you through a real-life content-area lesson where translanguaging helps multilingual learners THRIVE.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
🧠 What translanguaging is (and what it’s not)
📚 How to support reading in both English & native languages
🗺 Ways to use dual-language labeling, vocab, & discussions
🤝 How to build trust and boost engagement across levels

You’ll hear exactly how to apply this in a 5th-grade unit on explorers—step by step.

🎧 Want your ELLs to engage more deeply and feel seen? This episode will help you make that happen.

📩 DM me EP115, and I’ll send the link straight to you!
