Real talk for ELL teachers. 🎙️
Which of the five stages do you find the most challenging to teach — and why? 🤔

Stage 1 — Pre-Production (the silent period) 🤐
Stage 2 — Early Production (first words and phrases) 🌱
Stage 3 — Speech Emergence (social language up, academic language just starting) 🗣️
Stage 4 — Intermediate Fluency (almost there — but not quite) 📚
Stage 5 — Advanced Fluency (the long game) 🌟

Drop your answer in the comments. 💬
I want to know what is actually hard in your classroom — not just in theory. Because what you share here shapes what we talk about next. 🫂

It's all about having clear expectations! But with so many different language levels, it can be tough to know exactly what students should be able to do.

That's why I created this FREE ELL Expectations Chart! This handy chart breaks down exactly what to expect from your students at each level of language acquisition, making planning and instruction a BREEZE. 🍃
